The EFF article is really interesting for everyone. ( I was aware of this )
Indeed no one should assume that his packets are not intercepted along the road.
But conceive an software that on top of that, specifically route the traffic trough his server not make it better (on the opposite in my opinion)
Even if the owner of those server do not process the data... ( This is relying on blind trust) those servers might be breached. (in addition to the systemic data recording, like in the EFF article )
Let put it simple, is SimpleX offer on the actual Internet (can't wait the next gen, GNUnet or anything similar) a similar level of Trust & privacy than Briar ?
