Let's hope you are right. I personally think an app of this nature should be fully open source.

It doesn't collect your data or it isn't selling that data?

Another user on this very thread pointed out the specific trackers being used by the app. Unless that person is lying about them collecting the data, they will almost certainly be selling it.

That's the thing about data collection: its a lot of money to store. How are they funding the operation unless turning you into the product?

Hint: if an aoo is collecting your data and tracking you, as this app does, it is not open source.

This implies they are selling your data to brokers.

Tik tok is not a journalism app. China does not have free speech, nor do they export it, and if what they are telling you is true, than let's talk about the genocide of the Uyghurs.

Video or it didn't happen.

I feel like 6 years ago was the height of their marketing. Literally every podcast I listened to had them as a sponsor and maybe half of the YouTube sponsorships were Nord.

It is because of them most people probably now know what a VPN is, but I feel like their marketing budget is a hundred fold smaller than it used to be.

God damn, capitalists can be so fucking stupid.

You mean the people who hang out on a website mostly only used for spreading revenge porn aren't right wingers?

Huh, I had no idea.

The signal protocol is open source, meaning the code has been published.

Most people in the Pepe the frog scene are far-right.

Signal does not hoard data on behalf of the US government.

The people of China should lose encrypted communication because you are losing your minute long videos of fortnite dances?
