Watchman Privacy interviewed SimpleX, But yet
If you hit the contact on his website, only Telegram and Protonmail are listed. And Google analytics, Google fonts, Google forms, Gmail, and Cloudflare are used.
First of all, Telegram leaks metadata (who/when is talking), and that's why people use SimpleX. You'd know this if you listened to your own interview.
Second, even if we ignore that Proton's board of directors has a World Economic Forum member, which is the organization pushing for forced digital IDs. Protonmail is not really end-to-end, if they force you to have your private key in their web app, that's cloud-to-cloud. As I've went over previously, they even ban PGP signatures from external apps. Even Mikkel Thorup, the guy who SELLS Watchman Privacy event tickets, said on his podcast "Protonmail isn't as private as people think".
So surely they self-host right? No, Gabe Custodiet’s "Privacy Summit" with Expat Money used Google forms and Gmail to collect the info of those seeking to flee the US for privacy. Thorup’s ExpatMoney.com and io are both on Cloudflare with Google emails, and these coordinated all Watchman events of political asylum seekers and 2nd citizenship applications.
Do you really want Cloudflare and Google knowing you're fleeing the US for financial privacy? Now, I know Thorup would respond to this by saying "well your data goes to the countries you apply to citizenship for, so it's not private anyway". But this is misleading, because many countries may only need a fixed investment or time spent in the country. While as applicants to these exclusive Privacy Summits, often feel pressure to exaggerate their assets, to get accepted as clients.
Then on Watchman's site, he sells “Bitcoin privacy” through Gumroad, which is on Cloudflare, Google analytics, and Facebook analytics. But the worst part is Gumroad blocks new account sign-ups unless you enable Google. Watchman can’t even figure out how to not have Google fonts API on his WordPress. And then he only sells his book for Amazon CIA contractor fiat, only uses spyware Twitter/Youtube and no alternatives, and lists the following: "CONSULTING: Few humans have the experience and knowledge I do with private and freedom living."
Few humans have your knowledge? Give me a break bro, maybe in scamming people. Here at Simplified Privacy, our message is the opposite,
I am not claiming to be anything special. I'm just a regular dude without even an undergrad computer science degree. All I got is a dream to spread freedom. And if I can learn this open source technology later in life, so can you.
So if you want to see Watchman come on Nostr or SimpleX, make some noise. Smash that repost. Because the only way he's going to adopt freedom tech is when its undeniable that he's being left behind.
