Nothing Chats, a rival to apps like Beeper and AirMessage, advertised itself as a secure platform for sending messages to iMessage users.
However, less than 24 hours after its launch, investigations into the app revealed that Nothing Chats logged every message in plain text and stored unencrypted data, including text messages, images, videos, and more, making it a significant privacy and security risk.
The company removed the app from the Play Store following these complaints, citing “several bugs” that need fixing.
This imploded so quickly I’m impressed
I think they actually got more press for fucking it up than launching it.
Can confirm, I never heard of them before this post.

-Elon Musk, probably
Clearly the issue is that piss poor security practices hate free speech.
We hear enough about Musk. There’s no need to bring him up where it’s not relevant.
