Funny how HN discussions about the development of encrypted messaging apps often include remarks from commenters about the need for a "group chat" feature

In some cases, popular messaging apps that initially did not provide "group chat" have since added this "feature", apparently in response to "user demand"

The so-called "tech" companies that control these apps from Silicon Valley and Redmond have aligned with one political party, generally whichever party is in power, for "business" reasons, e.g., doing whatever is necessary to ensure their continued profits free from regulation

Surveillance is their core business
