Session is dying. WhatsApp isn't. #encryption #opensource #techlore

About this episode

The episode discusses the impending shutdown of Session and contrasts it with the stability of WhatsApp and iMessage, highlighting broader implications for privacy and funding in tech.

Session has just weeks to raise $800K or it shuts down on July 8th. WhatsApp and iMessage will be just fine. Here's why that's not a coincidence and why it's a problem bigger than Session.
