Unfounded claim.

I’ve done my research.

Has yet to be seen

I’m relatively confident that they well do the things they’ve promised.

Additional, more technical details on why you shouldn’t use Sessions:

Session has responded to that blog post, mostly debunking it. There is also a response from Soatok to their response, and they edited their original response afterward to address Soatok’s response to Session’s original blog post. Session was also audited by third parties, which had already pointed out some of the things Soatok mentioned in his blog post, and that does not mean Session is insecure or unable to compete with SimpleX, Threema, DeltaChat, Briar, and many other “private messengers.” Signal requires a phone number, which in Germany where I live, is by law attached to your identity and is also a unique identifier and an attack surface. I use and prefer Signal over Session, but Signal also has many small flaws.

I will also not continue this conversation further if nothing that I have not already clarified is brought up.

I believe your technical understanding is flawed, I’m a IT-Specialist for application development and Session is indeed a good competitor, thought they had some flaws which there upcoming V2 protocol would’ve fixed.

and is legally fighting any order they receive.

I don’t think a provider should fight any order, especially if the chance of success is low or basically zero. It’s also very expensive. A provider that doesn’t have the data in the first place, is legally speaking better.

Germany, since I’m a German citizen and know my local rights and laws better than anywhere else. Also easier to take legal action against the company if they they mess up.

It isn’t really about detection, they just got a blocklist of domains. There is not much temp mail services can do. Using lesser known or self-hosted solutions usually helps.

Idk. But the Tor Project is doing quite well financially I think.

They talk about it in their blog post which I have linked, go read it.

Sorry, you very likely misunderstood me. The nodes are operated by other entities mostly independently (if we exclude the software), the Tor Project and in this case the Session foundation manage the index, get to decide which nodes to in-/exclude, etc.

Infrastructure can’t be run on thin air, Signal isn’t peer to peer, so infrastructure is essential.

It’s not a stretch. Session is as decentralized as the Tor network. But just as with Tor, it has centralized people who manage the decentralized nodes and develope the software for them and the network.

Sorry, but you’re inherently wrong.

Well, when talking about server costs, (…)

We’re not.

Threema somehow has been running on a 5€ lifetime license and business customer subscribtions for over a decade.

Most users doesn’t even donate 1€ when using free messengers.

If your nonprofit only has 65k, don’t hire multiple devs and provide nice-to-have features that lead to high ops expenses in servers and storage. It’s called minimal viable prpduct for a reason.

They don’t offer ANY “nice-to-have” features 😭 You can’t even edit send messages, which I consider to be a basic reasonable feature (which is technically difficult to implement when having E2EE, etc. in mind)

Look at the amount that Signal spends.

Session is decentralized.

I’m from Germany and don’t have WhatsApp :D But I totally understand what you mean, it’s terrible.

We might want to encourage people to stop using the term “sideloading” and instead say “installing” because that’s what it is; using a different term for it makes it seem unordinary and unintended.

Well, people support it. In the end people are supporting their own doom.

The double moral of people like you is amazing. /s

Edit: You all think you’re the Robin Hoods? Steal from the “rich” and take it for urself, and then complain when the “rich” doesn’t respect ur rights ✨

If you would have read the article, you would know that they go after everyone involved. There is nothing wrong about going after the users, if you use an illegal service to do illegal things, you’re just as guilty as the provider.
