SimpleX tries to stop server-side metadata that would come from a targeted attack, beyond what XMPP can provide.
And the example used for it is that the CIA compromised a Russian XMPP server, with the VPS provider's help (Hetzner), to get metadata only. But 99% of people should not be worried about their self-host XMPP server being targeted by the CIA for metadata only.
On the other hand, HydraVeil tries to stop browser fingerprint metadata, for any service Tor Browser breaks. This is something literally everyone has to deal with regularly, as with a browser you directly interact with the enemy. And Librewolf, Brave, Firefox, and others are very leaky. A single use with a big tech site brands and fingerprints it completely.
But yet "influencers" gush over SimpleX, for under 1% of the population,
And disregard, censor, or ignore HydraVeil, for 99% of the population.
Why? Because the SimpleX dev got funded by Bill Gates to literally PAY influencers like Techlore's “NewOil” Nathan Bartram with the Surveillance Report to shill it. And then what a coincidence, he literally tells his fans to ignore our project when they ask him about it, because we have no fiat bank accounts to rain on him.
Nathan Bartram told his podcast fans that he sides with Google and Facebook, over me. How do you not see that the very purpose of HydraVeil is that you can continue to use those services in a more private way?
