My thoughts exactly. With their closed source app running on the client, they can do literally anything with the plaintext before encrypting it.
Be ready for an expansion of their fear-mongering ad campaigns about how anyone in your office or home can read your messages when you send them unencrypted.
True, although FWIW NVC tends to come off as inauthentically appealing to emotion from the perspective of those who are aware of, but do not subscribe to it. That communication can then be perceived as manipulative and work against the communicator's original intent, even if the listener shares their underlying goals of wanting to be kinder and more empathetic.
And since NVC has little impact on those who are malicious or acting in bad faith, it ends up doing more harm than good imo.
Hard disagree. It's absolutely unreasonable to infantilize users and lock them out from fully utilizing their purchased hardware.
