How would they do that ?
Backdoor with only UK ip address client or number ? 🤭
Let's see
May I suggest you try “Keet” by holepunch. A decentralized messaging app.
Keet is not that secure...
Oh, I wasn’t aware. What about Telegram ?
A little bit better... but still centralized.
Keet creators assume that every user is behind a VPN, which in fact, some people don't know what a VPN is, and if they know, they use a free one (which I don't recommend), because you don't know where your data is going, and most free VPNs have a killswitch.
We have developed an app that is heavily encrypted, and uses the LN Network to send messages, it's still on alpha version, but you can take a look at it. Feel free to give us + or - feedback. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blipmeapp.app&pli=1
