Now we wait for someone to build an absolutely wonderful chat app on top of this wonderful bit of PoC code…
I genuinely hope someone does. Imagine what this could do if this was routed over Tor using Private Services.
Run this over that; and you’d have a bullet-proof text chat. Wrap a nice GUI client around all of that and you have a proper secure, anonymous messenger with no problems. With a little more build-out; you could even implement the Matrix protocol over this wire-line and basically have full inter-federation and moderation over a secure wire protocol; allowing for complete privacy and client integration.
TL;DR: Matrix over PQChat over Tor. Think about it. A Post-Quantum Dark-Matrix web.
Low quality article that ignores the issues and fails to acknowledge the reason for phones being necessary in school; likely because they’re talking about a non-American school.
That said; they also didn’t acknowledge that the devices can be used to enrich studies when applied and used correctly.
The study they cite in the article is low-quality data that conflates correlation with causation and relies on wildly inaccurate self-reporting from students, parents and teachers.
This isn’t a controlled trial; this isn’t even a blinded study; nor is the data integrity controlled…it’s entirely self-collected and recorded by unqualified observers.
