I'm genuinely curious, how do you go about executing this? Not everyone will consent, so how do you selectively apply those services? In the winter, I pay for snow plows and salting the roads, but my neighbor doesn't, so...? I am

The scenario I'm imagining is that Google and OWS receive NSLs requiring them to push a modified APK that could do nefarious things.

It can also affect security depending on what jurisdiction the servers fall under. Federation means that while it may be illegal to run the service in, say, China, it can be run elsewhere without those concerns. This is becoming more appare

I think it is important to note that Tox is still considered alpha. From their own wiki's FAQ: "Tox is by no means complete. You may encounter bugs ranging from simple visual defects to segfaults on file shares. We cannot guarante

Not everyone's threat model is nation-state adversaries. Often times it is simple theft, coercion, snooping friends/family, etc. What messaging system would your recommend instead? Riot? Tox? Last I checked, neither were nearly as
