That's maybe true for privacy enthusiasts. You severely underestimate the need for these cutesy features when targeting mass market though. I claim stickers are much more important for that than data exporting.
- dejj 7y ago> cutesy features Personally, I don't care much for features supporting cyber-grooming. What's the point of using cutesy features to attract users who don't care about security, just so someone else can _securely_ cyber-groom them?
- meowface 7y agoCan you elaborate? I'm not totally sure what you're defining "cyber-grooming" as here.
- codewiz 7y agoThe point is: if those users don't use Signal, you're forced to use another IM when you want to communicate with them.
- distances 7y agoAre you somehow equating stickers and grooming? That takes quite a leap of imagination. Stickers aren't targeting young audiences in any sense. It's very weird to draw such conclusions just if you're not using them yourself (if that's the case).
