Beware! Requires Contacts & email!!?

Lies. Says they are not storing your contacts on their servers but they ARE in coded form that they can decode.
You cant even freely message someone wout them being in your contacts first. This is absolute fraud UX solely built around getting your data.
If he can create a real product people would pay for it but no, he creates a free product as spyware.
Moxie, the main invader, says he cares about privacy but steals your metadata. Fraud. This app requires access to your contacts & made by one of the people once behind a popular social network. Its FREE! Shady free. Free means youre the product! Creepers on your address book (even if coded)! They also released a desktop app REQUIRING gmail email? Wha???? Put 2&2 together folks. They are building a social graph of you. True secure should not make you give up personal info or info controlled by an ad company like g.

You be the judge. Shady imo. They could easily just give a unique code like how securedrop works & message only known, random secure codes. This app has the ability to map social graphs just like the phantom valuations of other startups bought by social networks.

It doesnt need access to your contacts but wants to code your social graph. Legalize speak says just bc Signal devs arent storing your contacts on their servers doesnt mean they arent storing it in coded form so they can map/track your social graph. I call sham. Your contacts are your personal social graph & this company should find a better way to achieve what theyre trying to achieve assuming theyre trustworthy. You figure out the crony bias here... GPG doesnt take your contacts, does it?? No way to prove what they have on github is actually whats on your phone either. If theres enough reason to think twice then you should. ...should not use this until they address & protect against stealing contacts & other things.

NotAPPLEcable about Signal - Private Messenger, v2.2
