    I would disregard, at least, that line of thinking. I mean, Tor was heavily funded by the CIA… However, it’s secure. Linux kernel is largely funded by the US government. However, it’s secure.

    What dessalines is doing is called “poisoning the well”.

    However, I’ll find some more, as I recently was looking into this.

      i don’t agree with everything in that essay but the OTF-CIA connection gives me good reason not to read anything they say. not that everything they fund is bad but everything they say is untrustworthy.

      maybe more importantly though, is briar android-only? no desktop app?
