Why did you create a company ?
Bastet is a free and open source messaging system for personnal use. Use of Basted in a private company/government/NGO is subject to a license. Bastet Pro comes with company specific enhancements allowing to integrate it within company environment while perserving individual’s privacy.
Bastet Pro aims to be a complementary revenue source to donations. It will allow to develop a worldwide network of Bastet public servers.
Don’t you think that your system is evil ? it may protect illegal activities
No.
This is the main argument used by governments for creating laws that are violating people’s privacy. They’re usually raising the spectre of terrorism or pedophiliy.
About terrorists, we don’t think sucessful ones do send “I’m going to blow a tower next week” in an encrypted instant messaging system, but do most probably, like in most thrillers since centuries, publish a stupid agreed message like “weather is not so good today” on a social network to trigger their horrific actions. They don’t need encrypted messaging for that.
About pedophily, that’s even a tourism business in some asian countries. No occidental countries does is taking any sanction against those countries. They don’t either forbid their citizens to go there. Maybe that would be a first, non hypocrit action, against pedophily. Then, on the virtual side nowoday, cheap or even free VPNs are available to visit any forbidden content on the internet.
Not having private messaging systems wouldn’t prevent any of this.
