There is no need for 15min coversacion here, thing is wery simple.
If you allow a regulator to report a couple of bad guys for sending photos of children that means that same regulator will spy on all regular people and all the children which is done by all so called “big tech”.
And if you dont allow mass spying on people than ofc someone who is bad guy can send some pics, but that must not be excuse for gawernmant spying on all regular people…
Also as we know wery well from history, politicians do nor not care for children at all, its just same old excuse as alvause…
If they care they would do much more in some other erias…
but think about the children, we are just doing this to protect the children. So signal doesn’t know if there’s child abuse happening?
we absolutely cannot know
so meredith fell right into the trap of the msm shill, only those couple of seconds is the perfect sound bite msm wanted
Don’t use Signal, use Session. A Monero based p2p net

80% of information is in metadata. What we want is to prevent opponents from even knowing that we communicate or what tools and protocolls we use.
Yeah, no. Rather use SimpleX or Threema.
users place a degree of trust in servers. This trust decision is very similar to a user’s choice of email provider;
Threema: trust in servers + creates digital ID + requires Android 5.0
please explain how session is different, because from my limited understanding, if you want to contact someone you need some kind of reference or ‘ID’
why also do you differentiate ‘trust in servers’ from what you do in session?
to me, you’re using a bunch of buzz words and phrases that have no real technical grounding. if i’m wrong please elaborate
if you’re going to promote a service you should be offering up that information freely, otherwise no one will take you seriously. DYOR doesnt work in this scenario because its your initiative. this is aimed at you and @rottenwheel@monero.town
Sure. First I’m not promoting any project. Test and play and report your findings.
if you want to contact someone you need some kind of reference or ‘ID’
Thats the general problem of key exchange, unavoidable. You have to meet in person or establish trust any other way. Snail mail, key signin, etc. A good protocoll lets you create as many ID’s as you wish and doesn’t tie that to your phone or google ID. Like SimpleX supports GrapheneOS and linux.
why also do you differentiate ‘trust in servers’ from what you do in session?
Trust is not a dirty word. I do trust SimpleX servers, for example, say 75% and trust is needed in any case, whatever you do. You, for example don’t trust me blindly. Thats good.
Session is different, incentivized not by FIAT and the p2p net is not run by the developers but 1959 miners. Latest whitepaper states it is PoW with a PoS overlay. I would say less than 100 peers should not be called a p2p network, not resilient enough. P2P is superior because metadata analysis is harder for an attacker. Particl’s secure messaging protocoll is another good example. Using RingCT is the key here.
I offered my time and had a quick look at the code. Almost all of the crypto code is 1:1 from monero-core. That convinced me. I also like the idea to monitor the health of the network using a blockexplorer
TL;DR You can use the same tech as Monero not to send money, but also to send messages.
Don’t use Signal, use Session
If you dont mean to promote one project over another, then i would suggest being more careful with what you write.
Thanks for the brief elaboration
As I understand it, the Monero based tech will be dropped for Ethereum based? https://getsession.org/blog/upgrading-to-session-network
Looks like it. The 2000 staking nodes are maintaining a tor/i2p network with secure messaging built-in. That seems to be the idea. (if the whitepaper still holds) Thats is too bad.
at 15 min it was so good, pure gold
