Why you should consider Syme over Facebook (opens in new tab)

It's free!

To decrypt messages, you need a private key, not a public key. On Syme, private keys are only available to you, and public keys are only available to your group members. We don't have access to either one of those.

If you're interested in learning more about how our crypto system works, you can check out our white paper on Github (https://github.com/symeapp/syme).

If you care about your privacy and are uncomfortable with the idea of someone reading your emails or social media activity, encryption is pretty much the only way to protect what you share, whether you're a target or not. I don't think that using an encryption app is enough to make you a serious, individual target.

I think the problem isn't only in surveillance -- it's in giving private companies access and control over heaps of data on our personal lives.
