Send messages, not metadata. This is the level of privacy promised by Session, an open-source and encrypted messaging app developed in 2018 and based in Australia. Or rather, it was based in the Land Down Under until last month.
The founders decided to flee the mother country due to an increasingly "hostile" legal landscape that opposed what they most believed in – their users' anonymity. While tougher regulations around encryption have been enforced since 2018, the last drop arrived last year when the police visited a Session employee at their home and asked questions about the service.
