@micahflee I had the privilege of going to HOPE this year and unfortunately (fortunately?) missed this shitshow of a talk! Some of my friends did go, and their takeaway was that this guy isn't an activist, not a hacker, not even a developer really; he's just a product owner. For anyone that didnt watch the whole thing, he is at one point asked the question, "why do you think you have the right to make unilateral decisions for entire communities?" His response was basically "because it's *my* app" 🙄 like jfc if that doesn't encapsulate this guy's entire fucking attitude... not even to mention his complete lack of understanding of many basic security concepts. His talk was the very last one at HOPE, and I'm not entirely sure why the organizers did that bc that seems significant to me. Either way, for all the disagreements and differing ideologies at HOPE over the weekend, it was nice that at the very end we could all unite on how garbage this app is.
