Let me guess, closed source (client and server) using custom encryption.

Hope to be wrong in both accounts.

Are you serious? The KGB has full access to VK.

Or course everything that is posted on this shit service will be fully tracked.

anon5621@lemmy.ml on 10 Jun 19:05 collapse

FSB if to be more accurate

Depends how you look at the russians’ approach to security service “reform” post 1991. 😄

I wasn’t making a pedantic statement.

Or a fork of an open source project

Railcar8095@lemm.ee on 10 Jun 19:05 collapse

Hard doubt. Unless it’s a closed source fork

lepinkainen@lemmy.world on 11 Jun 05:25 collapse

Of course it’s a closed source fork 🤣

cheese_greater@lemmy.world on 10 Jun 18:04 next collapse

Its called Telegram

FourWaveforms@lemm.ee on 10 Jun 21:27 next collapse

seems legit

propitiouspanda@lemmy.cafe on 11 Jun 00:31 next collapse

Such a terrible idea unless it’s free software.

It’s so much effort spying on you all. Can you send it directly through our servers instead?

Are there substantial numbers of Russians who seriously wouldn’t be wise to this?
