In a recent interview with Cointelegraph, the founders of the decentralized messaging app Session, Alex Linton and Chris McCabe, discussed their vision for a privacy-centric communication platform. According to the official information, their backgrounds and experiences have shaped their commitment to enhancing user privacy in the digital age.
Privacy Concerns in Online Communications
Linton, a former journalist, and McCabe, who made a career shift from electrician to tech advocate, are driven by the pressing need to address privacy concerns in online communications. They believe that traditional messaging platforms often compromise user data through the collection of identifiers and metadata.
Revolutionizing Communication with Session
Session aims to revolutionize the way people communicate by ensuring that only the sender and receiver have access to their messages. By eliminating conventional tracking methods, the app empowers users to regain control over their personal information. Linton and McCabe are not only focused on building a secure platform but also on raising awareness about the importance of privacy in the digital landscape.
As the conversation around privacy in digital communication continues, opposition leader Bobi Wine has recently advocated for the use of BitChat to prevent potential communication blackouts during Uganda's upcoming presidential election. For more details, see read more.
