Do you guys remember when internet was the thing and everybody was like: “Look, those dumb fucks just putting everything online” and now is: “Look at this weird motherfucker that don’t post anything online”

I’m surprised that people consider Aurora store inferior to PlayStore. I’m not familiar with k-anonimity, but you can run aurora through a proxy.

Both signal and molly are considered safe, a lot of apps use the same protocol as signal, most risk come from messages leaks before the encryprion happens.

Unfortunately, I’m not aware if they did external audits, but both codes are available in github.

There’s a hardened “version” of signal called molly

Also because most phones have operational system’s that are more secure than Windows, so a app is a easy way to block everybody that don’t fit a profile of optimal users and avoid problems/hacking.

Companies dream of a closed internet accessible only from a controllable environment.
