Because they see no real market effect for 'real personal security'. People do care about privacy & security, but they don't physically understand how something like OTR works. Things like banking & tax apps putting in fake progress bars to make the app feel like it's 'more secure'. Or apps like snapchat that remove access for the standard user, but still leaves them on the phone after they are seen. Or your standard home lock.
- StavrosK 13y agoSure, but how much effort would it take to link in libotr if you're making a chat client? Not much, and, if it's popular, the gains are enormous.
- mahyarm 13y agoIt's not just link, it's also integrate and not effect performance and UX. Many of these apps are mobile & cross platform and have things like message sending to clients you've never connected to. Messages getting restored by the server if you re-install the client. Push notifications by another server, saved history and so on. Could it be done in a hackathon night?
