      Infrastructure will always be used by evil and good. If it exists. Just like a road. Normal people use them as well as murderers.

      If a good encryption chat software exists it will be used. It’s necessary for normal privacy and sensitive topics between people but those ones will also use it. Nothing to do about it.

        Ywah, but it sucks when malicious actors use it enough to bring attention from authorities who will do eveeything they can to undermine everyone’s privacy.

        “Darkweb”? I was under the impression that it means a messenger that is onion/i2p-only. Simplex, while having an easy Tor integration, is mostly used by clearnet.

        That’s a good point to it tho. It means Simplex is simple enough for anyone, even telegram pogromists to use. Advanced stuff became user-friendly, so average folks can with some adjustment come to it too.
