    Session does NOT use the tor network. They use their own, smaller, way easier to take over network.

      I never said they used the Tor network. I just said they use onion routing over lokinet. Lokinet is pretty powerful and is much faster than Tor. In the future we may see other messaging apps use lokinet assuming it works well and is secure

        And I did not say you said that. Thatdoes not matter though, as what I say still stands. The network they use for onion routing is incredibly weak. Even Tor isn’t as powerful a network as most would think.

        Also: Speed does not matter. Speed ≠ strength.

          Speed does matter though. You can’t video call over Tor because its slow.

          Lokinet also is smaller in popularity than Tor so it will have less nodes. Hopefully it will scale. I personally am kind of interested in running a node as it looks like it could be profitable
