Happy to see a privacy-focused carrier, and it has better policies than any other carrier out there. But founder is formerly from Palantir and there’s a lot of VC money behind it (not inherently a problem, just flagging).

Thoughts?

    I don’t see how being hacked make it “still a honeypot”.

      because it was being used to attract criminals into thinking it was a safe and legitimate service, while under theee surface it was relaying all the messages to law enforcement.

        Yes but

        1. as far as we know they had no idea that it was hacked, so I don’t see how you can get a “vibe” if they are blind to it
        2. the criminals were already using it when LE discovered it and then hacked into it
