Parakeet, a privacy-first messaging fork of Signal, gains attention

Original: ¿Y si un servicio de mensajería basado en Signal hiciera que la protección de la privacidad fuera obligatoria en lugar d

A new open-source Android messaging app called Parakeet is drawing interest. It is a fork of Molly, itself based on Signal, and makes privacy protection mandatory by default rather than an optional setting. The question of whether privacy should be built in rather than left to users is at the heart of the discussion around the project.

Why now: The idea of a messaging app enforcing privacy by default rather than leaving it optional is sparking debate among privacy-minded users.
