you know, after reading several posts on c/privacy I have such an impression that one can trust nothing: either closed-source servers or OTF funding or wrong location :)
one of currently popular/active posts regarding funding of privacy oriented tools staggered me. I have never heard of OTF and BBG before and was really surprised that briar got funding 3! times from them. What do you personally think, is this fact corrupts briar itself?
Never trust - verify. And services that depend on proprietary server-side solutions are not verifiable. You can’t verify that they run the code on their servers - not even if the code is openly available. That’s why people self-host.
