Before January 13, 2034, will there be a messenger used by >50 million people that won’t disclose user data outside its normal procedures even someone is held hostage by a government.
If a messenger is not the core functionality of something, it still counts if >50m people use messages.
Resolves Yes if a messenger like this exists at any point before January 13, 2034.
Otherwise, resolves No.
https://simplex.chat exists.
But 50m is, well.. an ambitious number
@ms I see. Are any of the following part of your threat model?
- the government takes over the service and forces them to log IP addresses
- passive traffic analysis
@ducat Depends on the nature of the take over. To cause a positive resolution, it should be impossible for a government to take over/get access by taking hostages.
