How exactly can you run a “social network” like the one described in the original article if data never leaves your phone? At the very least, even if it’s end-to-end encrypted, they’re going to have to route your data to your friends.

Why are you even here?

I’m here because I read this original article, and I read it because I’m interested in social networking — mainly because I think we’re handling these things extremely badly as a society.

And what sort of question is that? I’m not allowed to comment unless I own one of your favorite toys?
