BitTorrent releases Bleep: Encrypted P2P (Cloudless) Chat App
- eevilspock 12y agoI don't know yet if BitTorrent has pulled this off in a way that is reliable, secure, truly decentralized and easy-to-use, but this at least points to future we want. They claim[1], "Bleep offers the freedom to communicate without the risk of metadata being exposed.", and that it is good for "Journalists communicating with sources without exposing their identity or their content." This line worries me: "In typical Silicon Valley fashion, we’ll evaluate monetization models down the line." I'm sure idlewords (Maciej Ceglowski) would agree.
