If you're in a country that is shutting down servers, then your contingency plan should involve serverless p2p apps like Quiet or Keet.
This is the second time I stumble across Keet this week. It sounds interesting, and yet it appears not to be open source. All I could find is a Github page where they publish their APKs, but no source whatsoever. Is it really closed source? Because I don't to "trust me, bruh" crypto.
Worse, it fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.
Well, there's no license because there is no code on their Github. They claim their P2P framework is open source. Yet, that is just the part that allows clients to connect. But I also need to check that what is transferred through that connection is truly encrypted. And if there's no code, there's no basis to even develop trust.
'Open source' misses the point of libre software.
