It's the mix between "decent ideas" and "shoddy execution"
Agreed, it kind of unjustly vilifies the concepts to which they're attached too, which is a shame.

The concept in itself doesn't sound too bad, it's just that a multitude of the actual implementations don't look very well meaning at all, just like NFTs. Somehow crypocurrency is able to attract both the best mathematicians and the worst scum looking to make a quick buck
Whew! Good spot, that's not cool at all.
Also, as soon as I saw

I knew that something was up, how can you flaunt your care for privacy, decentralization and all that and then use Gmail as your contact??
Like, at least use your own domain name with underlying Gmail if you want to mislead us effectively
Google faces a £7 billion lawsuit for blocking search engine competition at the expense of consumers
Ahhh, feels good, my faith in humanity is (briefly) restored, waiting to see them actually pay it
Blazingly fast 🦀🦀🦀
You can minimize the attack surface with certain fingerprinting resistance settings at least.
I personally don't see why easy interactivity would be inherently a bad thing, plenty of apps that you would have to install directly on your system can instead stay isolated in your browser and never have access to anything else outside of it, particularly useful for proprietary web apps that we're forced to use, those same apps that go as far as to beg you to install their native counterpart on your PC, which is clearly an attempt at data harvesting and increasing user retention. Also useful for simple stuff you need once in a while and it would never make much sense to have installed
Sometimes things are done out of the goodness of people's hearts, which makes sense when policies are brought up by some individuals, but also opposed by others. Ultimately they usually land, maybe for the lesser power the big tech corporations hold over the EU, but also for an egoistical desire to safeguard one's own privacy that everyone has to some extent, especially people in power
Haha, yep, it would also be unreasonably expensive, but who knows?
Maybe they get that by correlating your profile with data of some entity that does have it, because it was collected and shared by a health company you might used services from. No amount of tinfoil hats will protect us
Hmm yes, state "encryption". Waiting for the day they find out it's broken and attackers had access to conversations for a few months (being slightly serious, I don't know what protocol they intend to use that would surpass or equal the Signal protocol, unless it's a state owned app that they can vet which is based on the same protocol)
It knows the bot's race too, apparently
As in freedom, of course
