    Not for s second do I believe this was a accidental oversight.

    I am sure they had very good reasons, all alligned with their actual interests with no thought spared to even consider consequences for small fish users.

      Yep I’m with you.

      It’s so easy to use https with secure encryption. It’s the default. You have to go out of your way to use s symmetric key or to even allow http without SSL in xcode or Android studio.

      i just can’t think of any. like the article says, i fully expected the app to send data to china. but even if you are maliciously spying on users, why would you send the stolen data on unsecured channels? so that everyone in the path takes advantage of the data your wanted to steal?
