There's no such thing as a backdoor only the authorities can access.

If encryption is broken, it's broken for everyone. Not just the authorities, not just the "good guys" — everyone.

Encryption means safety. Backdoors mean danger.

@aral FYI Session uses the Oxen blockchain as its database.

Do you have a position in the pro vs. anti blockchain wars?

Hmm, wasn’t aware of it. Will look into it.

Unboosted in the meanwhile. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes I was going to mention that Session is a blockchain thing.

These days whenever I see some new chat app I am immediately suspicious that there might be some blockchain rug about to be pulled, or a cryptomining operation somewhere in the background.

The particular post you boosted is right on the money and I can see why you boosted it. FWIW I'm agnostic about blockchains pending further reading and thinking. But there is some very aggressive anti-blockchain discourse in the 'verse these days, coming from the sort of folks likely to interpret your boost as an endorsement of Session itself, rather than just the content of that post.
