So don't do it. I know I'm probably in the minority here but I've never given another app permission to use my facebook or twitter account to "Find Friends" and I personally find the whole practice offensive. Just have an option to invite people by their email address/number/whatever, but not in bulk.
- ash 13y agoYou seem to dislike inviting a bulk of friends to a service. But the article doesn't talk about invites. The problem is securely discovering who's already invited. It's not offensive in my opinion.
- jen_h 13y agoNot everyone wants to be found; and not everyone wants to find every single contact in their phone. Especially for something like RedPhone whose purported aim is user privacy and security...I'm not sure why they'd want to even touch 5000+ contacts from a single user (or why someone who used RedPhone would want to have them scan every contact on their phone), even if they do use some kind of magical unicorn encryption sauce.
