Wire is open source, they claim no ads, no profiling and no data

just a swiss botnet startup

>Wire Swiss GmbH receives financial backing from a firm called Iconical.[2] According to an article published by Reuters, Wire Swiss has not disclosed how much funding it has received and has yet to discover a sustainable business model.[2] In March 2016, Wire Executive Chairman Janus Friis told Bloomberg that the company will "never create an advertising-based business model", but "might charge for certain premium services in the future".[1]

>Shortly after its launch, the company retracted a claim from their website that the app's messages and conversation history could only be read by the conversation participants.[

total rip

Maybe they want to charge for premium features down the road as they claim. Or maybe they want to be bought out for big money, like Whatsapp.

The most interesting part is that they plan to open source their server code too, which would potentially be a huge disadvantage for them.

Actually, voice calls were always end-to-end encrypted even then. But text messages and shared files were client-server encrypted.

But right now it appears everything is end-to-end-encrypted:

https://wire.com/en/privacy/

If they really open-source the server code, that would be fucking great.

Not a shill, I just want to believe.

it's shit.

just use Matrix which actually has a future since it's federated.

riot even has end to end private messages and room messages.

metadata leaks and beta-tier

>>59148184

>What's their endgame, /g/?
World domination.

I'm using it now, but the lack of read receipts is just sad.

the end game is the same as all these meme multibillion dollar funded start ups.

try and trick morons into dependence on a unsustainable model and then try and jew you hard when you're locked in

same shit Uber is doing right now.

If you are not paying for the service, then you are the cattle

oh better tell that to all projects on github/gitlab et al.

Wikipedia? Local libraries? Red hat?

I like to donate a few dollaroos for lads making software on their spare time for me to limit my cloud exposure.

>open sause meme
probably backend is not opensouse

>>59151875

backend == server side? Yes, server should be open sauced in a few months time.

Too late though, I'm gonna run matrix/riot.im server myself.

Proper quote is: 'If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold'
