Ryan, you are exactly right. We see Twitter as our competition more that confide. What you post on Twitter adds to your digital profile. Tweets from 5 years. Who you retweet. Who retweets you. All can be action items for a third party. With Cyber Dust Android, we have the start of a scripting platform that allows you to blast to all your friends. T… See more

@mcuban thanks for jumping in. Ironically, I was chatting with @poornima, @jewelia, and @eriktorenberg yesterday about this topic. While I love love love Twitter, it has some issues with it's follower/following system that only gets worse over time. When I follow someone, it's hard to unfollow them in the future. Similarly, when someone is following you … See more

@mcuban I'm curious about Cyber Dust, but why couldn't communications via Cyber Dust be subpoenaed just like any other service? What makes it different? (maybe I just don't understand the law... 😄)

@mcuban Hey Mark, I've heard you mention Cyber Dust a couple times, one of them at your talk at the Launch Festival. You tend to talk about it in the context of business and litigation. But the screenshots in the Play store are consumer-y, Snapchat-esque. What is the demographic like of the users you've adopted so far? Are you finding that a growing digita… See more

@machinehuman I'll let @mcuban answer, but anything can be subpoenaed - doesn't mean it will be helpful (ex. not holding private keys to encrypted data). Sounds like a technical question. Like Mark said "You can message and the content never touches a hard drive anywhere. Not on the device. Not on the server... When it's read. It's then gone."

@rrhoover people always say they feel like they are having a face to face conversation and can be more open and honest. And when I use blast (Twitter like features) I don't get hate or spam. People feel like they are only talking to you so they don't reply like they are trying to sound like a big shot to an audience. Which is exactly what they do with Twi… See more

@jerryhjones no. People use it as platform to fit their needs from high school kids blasting beach pics to lawyers

@ChaseTheTruth they can try to get a subpoena, but throw is nothing there. You can intercept any communication. But that rarely is a risk. But if you get sued and they say to produce your messages, we have nothing. Nothing. We don't even have server log files. If they got a broad subpoena they may be able to get contact lists but those are encrypted… See more

@mcuban That's awesome! I recently spoke at a law symposium, telling other attorneys that they are unintentionally disclosing client communication all the time and need to make a concerted effort to better protect them. But most attorneys aren't tech proficient enough to use PGP. However this should be a low barrier to entry and a strong alternative! PS As… See more

@machinehuman if i understand correctly, the difference is, there is nothing to pull off the servers if they *do* get subpoenaed because all data is only ever in memory, and there is a timeclock even on how long those exists (e.g. if you send me a message, and I don't view it in 24? 36? hours, it's gone forever). So, unplug the servers and there is not data … See more
