> HN is a bit schizophrenic on this topic. What if there was a way to send private message, in a decentralized manner, and where it's not even possible to tell if the recipient has actually read the message or not? There are blockchains using ZK-proofs allowing to do that today. Not only it's decentralized so "fuck corporation surveillance/profiling" but it's also highly unlikely uncle sam and its offsprings can break the elliptic curves and ZK-cryptograhy in use by these blockchains, so "fuck state surveillance" too. But then it's using the word "blockchain", so HN is pretty much against it. And instead HN as a whole shall root for "secure" messengers that are leaking metadata like there's no tomorrow while explaining that they're the best thing since sliced bread "because they're easy to use". Go figure.
