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.
