Tell HN: Banned from LinkedIn for Reporting Wickr Drug Spam
Very, I know people who work there, they open sourced their crypto engine [1]. They also struggle with people using WickrMe for bad stuff because of how little info they collect from users (no phone required, true e2ee encryption, and so on...) [2].Own by Amazon doesn't imply that have spyware embedded, unless you can prove, not defending Amazon by any means, there is plenty to criticize and condemn about them, I'm just stating facts.

Why is no one talking about Wickr? It ticks all the boxes, better than Wire and is anonymous unlike Signal.
Where are the clients codes then? All i can find is this C implementation of the protocol: https://github.com/WickrInc/wickr-crypto-c

Signal impersonation risk?
Session's reasoning seems much more... cagey. Telling people to recreate their identities themselves sounds a little like the Threema stopgap solution, but it's much sloppier (I can't imagine end users WANT to recreate their account and communicate this to all their contacts via a third party). They're talking about implementing this eventually, but the ticket for doing so was closed right after saying this.
