Comment on How Whisper app tracks ‘anonymous’ usersparent

Comments

You might have good reasons (and, certainly, you list some) but at the end of the day, you track every user's IP address and geo-locate it. This is Wrong (tm) for an app that claims to be about privacy.

Also, just because your maxmind geoip database is crap doesn't mean that the DOD or whoever you're selling information to doesn't have a better one.
