We don't collect any user data, period. SimpleX doesn't have "accounts" - user profiles are on users devices only. We minimize necessary metadata as much as possible too - e.g., no device IDs and only absolutely necessary timestamps rounded to a second (in some cases to a day).

@matthew_d_green This is the classic mistake of mathematician's brain. Absolute majority of people use the term "broken" when something works in a completely unexpected way, or doesn't provide the benefit that it promises. The benefit that people expect from communication software that promises

100% agree with these statements. But it is important to recognize two things: - unrestricted freedom of speech undermines other freedoms, so some restrictions are necessary. E.g., we all agree that what children are taught must be restricted (even if we don't all agree on

Freedom of speech is the bedrock of democracy. If the truth is suppressed, it is impossible to make an informed voting decision. The degree to which freedom of speech is being undermined around the world is extremely alarming.

@schmidt1024 We hope that the positive impact of WEF ideas about the future will be that people who now say "we have nothing to hide" will change their minds, and true communication privacy (when providers don't know who we talk to) will become a universal norm, and a legal requirement for

@M_Solidus @4RealCast @mysk_co @ThreemaApp Database is encrypted, and the app recommends not to store passphrase on the same disk (although it allows it). Files are encrypted with one-time keys, each associated with the message of the file, so if the message is removed from the database, there is no way to decrypt the

Revived demo of #private and #secure @SimpleXChat CLI from the old website: The demo is useless, only a sentimental value – it was ~9 months before CLI, ~18 months before mobile apps. It all has to start somewhere, and the journey is longer than it seems.

@unseenking @startpage It's a popular opinion amongst technologists that message security is sufficient for privacy, but it's just different from the usual meaning of privacy in the society and in the dictionaries - privacy is someone's right to keep their personal matters and relationships secret

It's interesting that many people don't realise that cookies are a critical and foundational part of open web – without them you can't log in to the services you use. As many things, they can be used for privacy abuse. But if NetScape didn't invent them, there'd be no open web.
