'Minds' is a Secure Social Network That Puts Privacy at the Forefront
Laura McQuarrie — June 24, 2015 — Tech
Minds is a messaging app that shares many features with others on the market—you can swap photos, text and curated news feeds—but where it differs is with encryption to make it a super secure social network.
This means that all messages, updates, comments and uploads to the Minds app are completely encrypted, preventing them from being used by governments and advertisers. Naturally, this is a huge part of why the Minds app is backed by the international Anonymous network.
Now that many concerned consumers are becoming less willing to trade their private data for exclusivity and tailor-made experiences, niche networks like these are emerging to make socialization with others online and offline more safe and secure on a daily basis.
