> Socialite is a paid application. We made this choice in order to give you peace of mind. With no advertisers involved, you won't have to worry about who is getting their hands on your information. Pricing will be targeted at $10/year. Don't worry though, we won't charge you until you're making use of the application.

That sounds very funny. I would get much more peace of mind if you said that your client app is open source and uses strong encryption before saving data to your server. If you pay somebody, they must be trustworthy? That logic is laughable.
- pcmonk 10y agoI think the argument there is that their incentives line up with yours. For someone else to get your data, they'd have to get hacked. Most companies just give that data to the highest bidder. Of course, that business model means that they should be able to encrypt it all client side, and I think that would be wise.

- TACIXAT 10y agoThe problem of encrypting data and then making it searchable is tough. My career is in security so I did think about how to implement this for a while. It is its own product though, and security conscious users (myself included) are the minority. I decided to make an application and not sell user data or use it to sell ads. That is what that statement is saying.
