It's all relative.

More private than Google or Meta? Hell yes.

Suitable for whistleblowers and journalists reporting war crimes? Nooooo.

But Jitsi you can run it yourself and you should.

Understand that the public instance is provided freely as an alternative to Google and Meta, and whilst I agree encryption should be the default - it does add overhead for something probably running on donations.
