Just come across this. Haven't dug too deep but sounds like an interesting opportunity. I think it can only succeed if it is fully compliant with current systems. Seems to only be mobile clients. No desktop? Are big tech going to permit this to grow? It would shut down a data mining opportunity ...

people dont understand whats going on so thats why they dont care.

If they don't understand, it's because they don't care. Companies like Meta, MS and Alphabet make international headlines every day for privacy violations.

Many things are happening every day. You cant say that i dont care for something just because i dont have time to follow that topic also besides many many many others… And on top of that they made up stories every day just to draw peoples atention to some stupid fake things and than people have even less time to pay atention on something that is real and important..

"You can't say I don't care about my child, I just don't have time for them!"
