If you then use personal details as your screen name, you can’t get mad at the app for not hiding your personal details. That’s not how this app works. That was never how this app worked.
Chatting with your friends and clients isn’t what this app is for. This isn’t facebook. There are other apps for that. This isn’t that.
Yes.
I didn’t ask anything. I stated it definitively.
I’ve already explained this. I am not mad. I am telling you why it’s a bad product for activism.
That’s…exactly what it’s for. And I don’t know where you got the idea that it’s not. It’s absurd. Certainly Snowden never said anything of the sort. Signal themselves never said anything of the sort.
Of course there are. They’re varying degrees of not private, secure, or easy to use.
