@Jerry Can the maps be turned off?

@JerryThe fork #molly uses #openstreetmap so it would be possible.
@Jerry that's shocking! I wonder what they have to say about that
@Jerry They're not "hanging over the IP", the request comes from your device so naturally they know the IP address of the sender. It also seems like this information is shared for the purposes of the feature to send your location as a message attachment, which prompts for confirmation first.
@Jerry It is foolish to think that anything you do on the Internet is fully secure. There are only degrees of security, and you get what you pay for. If you are a person of interest, forget about personal electronic security. Signal and all the other apps are selling the hope of privacy, not actual privacy.
@Jerry Compared to the competition, I'd say that's still pretty good? Do hope they re-consider the Google integration, even if they're proxying it.
