We have a company that seems to be combining blockchain andMLM [multi-level marketing], has some opinions about Quantum Entanglement, bases thesecurity of its platform on a set of novel cryptographic primitivesthat seem to have had no external review, has implemented an APIthat just hands out personal information without any authenticationand an app that appears more than happy to upload all your contactdetails without telling you first, has failed to update this app tokeep up with upstream security updates, and is violating theupstream license.
