This is a massive security risk and they have had so much controversy. They also routinely delete Github issues and discussions that question them. To top it off they are likely Chinese run.
it took you as long to find that link as it would have to look up the thing they gave you. this is not kindergarten, nobody owes you you their time. you are expected to be able to find and evaluate the validity of information yourself.
i can see what it points to. you can’t claim the statement is unfalsifiable just because you didn’t see the issues before removal. like, this is not proof-of-god tier stuff.
As an american, the amount of people who refuse to accept that American Propaganda exists is staggering. I had an immediate reaction to seeing “China is good though” and I have no way of knowing if it’s justified because I’ve been my told my entire life that China is an evil shithole by American propaganda.
To take it a step further and say “America doesn’t have your best interest at heart” is deeply unsettling to the vast majority of Americans who blindly hand away their freedoms in the name of Freedom. Wait until people find out that our country is just like all the ones we’re taught to hate
Of course China uses encryption. So an obtuse, direct reading of that statement allows you, correctly, to say the commenter is wrong.
But what the commenter probably meant was “China bans the use of encryption that prevents the Chinese state from reading what is being exchanged” and that is confidently right. I’ve operated teams in China where we had a secret category 1 incident when it was discovered a couple of our devs had set up a VPN between a Chinese and a western service that didn’t go through the official Chinese-state controlled VPN services.
They absolutely do not want data they cannot read.
lol. I AM the source. DM me with your LinkedIn handle, I’ll connect with you to validate my identity and you can tell anybody else watching that the story is legit. I don’t want to spill too many details in public as I don’t want to involve my old company in it.
And in terms of “state controlled VPN” services, it’s not that the Chinese state runs honeypot VPNs for companies (though they most definitely do for their own citizens), but that to have a license to operate a cloud service in China, you have to enforce CSL and that means they get private companies, western too, to do their bidding. If you encrypt data, you’ll get a stern call (as we did).
DO NOT USE THIS

Just lookup “Rustdesk controversy”
The burden of proof lies upon the person making empirically unfalsifiable claims.
This. No matter how many downvotes you get for it. This all the way.

Sure, but RustDesk is not entirely opensource, there are key binary parts.

nope I had it bookmarked
I think you should click the link above

I would agree but you have to draw a line somewhere or else it will end up like reddit
Also they make you pay for 2FA
What?
Rust doesn’t solve all security issues in codebase?
People should take note of that; I surely did…
China is good though? At least that ensures they aren’t a CIA operation.
China bans encryption and doesn’t allow you to use anything to thwart surveillance. I can’t say I want that in a remote access tool.
Most confidently wrong statement I have read all year.
Wait until people find out america bans certain cryptographic things to help them out.

Do you have a source for that claim? And what state-controlled VPN services?

LOL so it’s completely made up then, as I thought.
I’ve literally given you a way to feel more confident, all you have to take it. But no, you’d rather live in ignorance it seems.
