Jacob , It's great that you're working on this.
But isn't the biggest problem with security/privacy is that people don't care about it and don't use privacy enhancing products?
Because if that's the case, the starting point should be a viable marketing strategy - which will define the product.
Snapchat is is a good example of this. They wrap a viable user need with a privacy preserving idea with great marketing. Have a look at their site.
- jcook818 13y agoHi there! Yes, I agree that apathy is a big problem. My hypothesis is that apathy can be driven down once the investment in time/money/education required for self-hosting services is reduced. If it can't be, then more educational campaigns are needed. I'm not really a marketing-type of person, but I would love to have someone on the project that can do this sort of thing, and be more of a conduit for the community. I only have two hands on the project at this point, but hopefully in the future that will change :)
- ippisl 13y agoThere are secure services for IM/VOIP and maybe email(npt sure how secure) and of course TOR. Some are very easy to use like Redphone/textSecure which integrate transparently with android calls/meessaging. As far i can understand, they didn't grab much popularity. So i'm not sure ease of alone is enough. I'm not really a marketing person too, just interested in it, so i don't think i could help much. Anyway, best of luck with the project.
