          fascinating. I’ve been looking for the articles (from 2019), but they seem to have scrubbed the web clean as they all lead to 404 now (including removing the statement on their own website, and on wikipedia), one of the remaining credible sources is from peter sunde: https://twitter.com/brokep/status/1194392575442067456

          and this german post addressing the company in question: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/wire-messenger-zu-100-von-einer-us-holding-uebernommen/

          i assume the mass exodus just about crashed their company. i mean, who in their right mind would move a privacy/encryption focused server/chat service to the US? it’s as if they didn’t know their consumer base at all. there also doesn’t seem to be any reproducible builds anymore, what you can download in the app store is different from what you compile?

      Well don’t forget Session - it’s an implementation of Signal without requirements for a phone number.

      Wickr me is also without phone number as I recall.
