Oddbean new post about login | logout Open source is necessary to build trust, and signal is doing great work. That said why is there a censorship maxi as the chair of the board? What pressure has been placed on @Meredith Whittaker and team to censor?
Why? Is she the head of a platform capable of censorship?
It’s a great question. Do you know the answer? I don’t. If not, what other pressure can a censorship apparatchik place on Meredith and signal team?
@JeffG has eyes on the source code, and is implementing a solution to integrate the protocol into nostr. Maybe he is in on it too. How many eyes are on the Signal source code vs SimpleX? Why isn't Jeff copying SimpleX source code instead?
Signal’s aim of allowing others to “speak freely” goes against what the board member Maher advocates for. Why does this observation upset you? I’m not aware of a censorship maxi on the SimpleX board. As for implementation questions, Jeff can advise. Good luck to you.
Because I listen to what people do, not what they say. Talk is cheap.
Do you work for or are you associated with signal?
BTW simplex chat also use signal protocol to achieve end to end encryption. https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/blob/stable/PRIVACY.md https://image.nostr.build/6e9ca2d4106672991db1075306f58c95a05179f2745b7bef62db54e074c72c6f.jpg
