Session has announced a change of jurisdiction. Now Session is legally moving from Australia to Switzerland after the federal police raided the home of one of the company's employees. According to Session Technology Foundation (STF) President Alex Linton, the decision was made due to increasing pressure from Australian law enforcement agencies.
The police decided to interrogate an employee of the company about the work of the application. AFP officers asked for details related to the investigation, which was linked to a specific Session user.
Linton explained that the company was faced with a choice: to stay in Australia or move its activities to a more privacy-friendly jurisdiction.
Now the development and support of the application will be carried out by a new Swiss foundation - the Session Technology Foundation (STF). The STF will be responsible for managing code repositories, publishing applications, and controlling cryptographic keys. Despite friction with local security forces, the Session app will continue to function in Australia.
Some skeptical commentators considered such a move on the part of STF PR actions to attract attention and lure users, hiding behind the legend of pressure from the police.
Whether the messenger is "anonymous" and "super secure" is an extremely controversial question.
I drew attention to the fact that in their growth vision (https://session.foundation/ecosystem-growth-vision) there are plans to implement:
• Session Name Service (SNS): a system of unique names within the ecosystem of the Session messenger. It allows users to register unique identifiers (names). With their help, users will be able to find and add each other to contacts without resorting to the use of long random numbers.
• Session Wallets: It is planned to integrate wallets within the application in the future to store and manage cryptocurrency assets.
• SNS Marketplace: Plans include the creation of secondary markets for trading items. These can be both usernames and other types of digital assets.
As if hinting....
According to Session itself, now their audience has about 1.2 million users.
And also, a memory pill about "reinforced concrete" Swiss services like Proton Mail.
