- norswap 13y agoYou don't need to give it, it's just an easy way to deliver it to your phone.

We also encrypt unique identifiers so that your friends, nor us, can ever read your content.

- nulltype 13y agoInteresting. How do you compare salted hashed email addresses?
- a1a 13y agoI would say they lost me even before that, the website won't even load without javascript. Besides if they can't even have a website that are not tracking me and sharing my info with 3d parties (i.e. Google-analytics, Cloudfont, and Amazon Web Services), how could I ever trust their product/app?
