    I love that it calls itself decentralized, yet "All messages are sent via the servers". However P2P networks are "Single or Centralized networks" because "they are not federated - they operate as a single network".

      "Preserving the privacy of your metadata — who you talk with — protects you from Manipulation of elections"

      That depends highly on who is using the app for privacy, the voters or the manipulators.

        It's surprizing how Nazis are considered #1 evil when Communism has killed times more people! Yet, Communism thrives and is growing in America!

          Let's not speak about religions and their wars either!

            People love to label - just like ML! For example, I've seen on YouTube hundreds of people calling Trump "a fascist" without even knowing what Fascism is, because when they ask them can you give one example of him being aligned with Fascism, they freeze and can't give a single proof of why he's a Fascist, racist, etc.

            Labels are so fluid! Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were defined as neoliberals - just try telling a Trump supporter that Reagan was a neoliberal!

            Nationalism had a completely different meaning than it does today. But when people label somebody as "nationalist", they mean to say so many different things.

            Anyway, give me an example of a religion that has killed 1% of the Communism death toll, please!

            Communism doesn't thrive in nor is growing in the US.

              Oh, it surely is! Just get into any high school!

                When the wall fell I recall thinking how nice it will be now people can stop trying to create a panic around communism and 'communist' as a slur against others in democratic countries. I had hoped we could go back to using the word with its actual, political definition. So it's disappointing to see people falling back into red-baiting and lazy epithets because others in their group are doing the same.

                I think you are confusing Communism with socialism.

                In a socialist welfare state, citizens pay high taxes, but enjoy generous social services including free education (including college), free health care, retirement pensions, paid parental leave, subsidized housing and more.

                you dont see much of socialism in the USA

                Countries like Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are socialist.

                  A disheartening thought. Are things really that bad in USA?

                    If only the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics had some friendly Internet person to set them straight as they got confused between socialism and communism too.

                    Do the Scandinavian states control the means of production? If not, they are not socialist but social democratic.

                    The Indian constitution proclaims India is a socialist country making Narendra Modi the most prominent socialist in the world though somehow other socialists aren’t too happy about it.
