So, no specifics, then. I am all for hearing criticism of SimpleX because, as it stands, in my opinion, it's the best solution if you want an E2E messaging app with no real identifiable info. Open source, audited. I'd like to know why I might be wrong on that...Well, this thread is interesting and nothing we discussed is by even the most relaxed definiton off-topic.
Majority of secure communication applications for any platform is either not secure because of the design errors or is intentionaly honeypot. Sometimes they have secondary benefit, beside being COMINT source.
Regarding the comparison between advertized application and Mr Durov's Telegram, the security is more close to absolute zero for both.
I'm not in position to disclose details beside the fact I consider indiscretions as non professionalism. Though, I'll offer to the community a glimpse regarding similarities between Telegram and Simplex - and most importantly, key difference - lack of the stakeholders and abundance of them.
Namely, Simplex is designed by Mr Poberezkin - another Russian citizen who also got Western citizenship - in this case a British one. The company Simplex Chat Ltd is a UK one and is funded by Village Global VC fund

The lack of alliances were detrimental to Mr Durov's business where the abundance of them will greatly contribute to interests of Mr Poberezkin's sponsors.
Hence, conlusion related to free lunch is a universal one as that's the nature of this game.
But I've read similar versions of your post on Twitter hundreds of times, and all they do is cite the same arguments that apply to basically every aspect of privacy and security. "pysop", "honeypot", "look who funds it" without going further. I think the funding aspect was addressed quite well here: Why privacy becoming a norm requires venture funding.
Yes, they are all starting points for valid arguments, but without elaboration, they are rather thin on the ground. Where is the specific evidence or technical details about SimpleX? And how can you say you're not in a position to disclose details?
) life sentences for the same things Jack was caught doing. It was a long list of federal crimes. They allowed him to plead a lesser charge and, by extension, sent a message to other federal judges that the FBI/DOJ would let them plead the lowest punishable crime and drop all other charges.
