Don’t believe me? Cut Signal’s network permission on Android. And go a long time with using it on desktop with disappearing messages on. Then re-sync Android with network permission, and boy you’ll be shocked to see those messages flash back before your eyes! They’re still on Amazon’s centralized servers even though they took it off your device.
This is even sadder when you think about how in centralized systems, it’s easier to force messages out. But with decentralized systems, there’s issues.
SimpleX has unique plans to force messages to disappear on the other person’s device, but how’s he gonna implement it? These are the types of questions to ask and hear at tomorrow’s event.
