Until we have a social network where every message posted is only viewable by the sender and the intended recipients, there will always be room for improvement.
- baq 15y agogoogle is in an excellent position for this: they "only" have to assign a keypair to every profile. there's a small problem in that the private key would have to be stored in their cloud for good usability, but it's otherwise possible.
