      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet f9ddb040       PID: OpenXP/5.0.51 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0500       I just leanred about another secure chat app.              https://briarproject.org/how-it-works/              From the manual..              "What is Briar?              "Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists,       and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to       communicate. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn't       rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly       between the users' devices. If the internet's down, Briar can       sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in       a crisis. If the internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor       network, protecting users and their relationships from       surveillance.              It cooperated nicely on my Android-capable Blackberry. I seems       to operate much like Session, very discreet, and user-       controlled. But unlike Session's putrid neon green for chat        bubbles, Briar is easier on the eyes!              It has a built-in "blog" that can be used to broadcast a       message to all known "Contacts".                            --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: A turtle that surfs the dark web.
