    But like the ice tracker, wouldn’t download and use the app expose the potential user lists to surface if local authority can ask for such information?

      I think they are bundling this into their regular app, so they’d have to put every guardian read on the list😅

        Yep, that’s the point described in the linked paper - traffic goes via the same domains used for their app, and the messenger is embedded in their app

          Not only that, but every app will constantly appear to be sending messages, so real messages are greatly obfuscated. That’s honestly the real innovative part of the product IMHO.
