Cwtch’s architecture means no central server sees who is talking to whom. Group conversation servers can be run by any participant rather than a central operator. This makes conversation metadata invisible to platform operators and resistant to takedowns. Interface is less polished than mainstream apps; setup requires more comfort with Tor concepts.
