No clue who/what a moxie is (presumably some guy) and it makes this threads title seem even more absurd.
OP feeling like we all need to know what moxie thinks about this reminds me of this [Chappelle Show skit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo-ddYhXAZc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo-ddYhXAZc) about getting Ja Rule's hot take on current events.

- Zenbit_UX 7y agoAh, that makes sense then. Though I do think "Founder of Signal comments on new Google/Apple contact tracing proposal" would be a far less absurd title than "Moxies take on...", further adding "private" in quotes is a bit cheeky and definitely imparts bias into the discussion. None of us developers here are dumb enough to think an api whose goal is to literally track and trace human beings is 100% private. The question is really, is it private _enough_.
- dang 7y agoWe've changed the title now. (Submitted title was "Moxie's take on Apple/Google's “private” contact tracing framework")
