Summary

Consolidates the remaining content from PRs #2773 and #2774 that was not included in the batch merge PR #2771.

Changes

  • New file: .agents/services/communications/privacy-comparison.md — standalone 308-line detailed comparison matrix covering encryption protocols, metadata exposure, identity requirements, AI training policies, push notification privacy, open source status, self-hosting options, and runner dispatch suitability across 15 platforms (t1385.12)
  • Updated: .agents/tools/security/opsec.md — adds reference link to privacy-comparison.md after the AI training risk table
  • Updated: .agents/services/communications/urbit.md — adds discord.md and msteams.md cross-references to Related section (t1385.13)

Context

PRs #2773 and #2774 were superseded by the batch merge in PR #2771, but contained a small amount of content not included in that merge. This PR cherry-picks only the net-new content.

Closes #2759
Closes #2760

Code Review

This pull request introduces a comprehensive privacy comparison document for various communication platforms and updates related files with cross-references. The new documentation is exceptionally detailed and well-structured. The suggested clarifications in the 'AI Training and Data Processing' table for Nostr and Matrix have been retained as they accurately reflect the risks in decentralized/federated platforms where policies are dependent on the server/relay operator, aligning with other documentation.

Note: Security Review has been skipped due to the limited scope of the PR.

The AI training policy and data monetization for Nostr are listed as "None", which could be misleading. While the protocol itself doesn't have these, relay operators can process and monetize any public data they handle. The opsec.md file notes this with "relay operators set own policies". To improve accuracy and align with other documentation, I suggest clarifying that these aspects are relay-dependent.

The AI training policy for Matrix is listed as "None (Foundation)", which doesn't fully capture the risk in a federated ecosystem. A homeserver administrator can access unencrypted messages and could use them for AI training. The opsec.md file provides a more nuanced take ("Admin can enable"). I suggest updating this entry to reflect that the policy is server-dependent.

Suggested change
| **Matrix** | None (Foundation) | None | N/A | None |
| **Matrix** | Server-dependent | Optional (bots, bridges) | Server admin control | None |
