I find it extremely difficult to believe they'd actually care about the full privacy with no back doors into the network, being that a venture capitalist company funded them..

Ugh I was looking at them because I thought they'd be a truly private carrier.

They partner with graphene os.

I used to call them ptd's, personal tracking devices, when smartphones started coming out. I kept my flip phone as long as possible, but eventually I had to get one. I actually wanted a Symbian but they stopped making them. I use GrapheneOS now.

It takes a bit of personal analysis into the product's direction to see this stuff coming. Cape was founded and rapidly advertised in sponsorships, YT ads, loads of influencers, etc. Say it with me now, that sounds like investor capital! Truth be told, y'all should probs check for those signs when seeing adverts or sponsorships, it can tell a lot about the behind-the-scenes connections of the company.

This is in comparison to, while not perfect (nor exactly the same product), Phreeli, which doesn't appear to have this massive investor capital money behind it, thus a lesser budget for advertising.

I've been meaning to look into them a little more closely. The investor capital is a red flag, but not necessarily a deal breaker. Something that would increase my confidence would be open source code to demonstrate how they're handling data (e.g. what have they prevented themselves from even having access to in unencrypted form).

Thanks for sharing
