The app Signal and centralization
Thursday, 12 May, 2016 - 15:11
I just dicovered some interesting information about links between Signal and F-Droid. It is also about LibreSignal, a fork of Signal freed from Google.
Moxie Marlinspike (also known with his pseudo moxie0), that contributes to the Signal application in Open Whisper Systems, explained his point of view: consummation values are more important for him than decentralization, freedom and control of everyone over his computing. This means that he is not against SaaSS (Service as a Software Substitute).
I thank Jérémie Zimmermann that spreads the info (unfortunately on Twitter, a centralized and proprietary service). https://twitter.com/jerezim/
