I'm gonna be honest here, this is how this reads to me: Decentralize... with Google (Suprise! It's a Chrome fork). Funded by a couple of tiny science grants and the NSA/McClathyDC who owns Knight Ridder Foundation, earns 56.4% annual revenue from advertising in 2016 and 15% of careerbuilder.com, has been losing nearly $1B USD annually and has been in trouble for undermining counter-terrorism efforts - so easily controlled. They've got a fed with a clearance [GSA 18F] as an adviser, no matter how anti-gov his Twitter looks. Their 'partners' amount to the same few friends with the same logos, feds, academia, and former Mozilla hypocrites who now work on a technology powered by Google+GitHub [req. Chrome+Electron] to drive... decentralization? Specifically the Dat project as described by Max Ogden provides an alternative to GitHub, did they read that? But while looking suspect already, they're explicitly not building privacy, and citing 'a secret URL' as the key to encryption in the project pages. Underlying the project, is Dat. Dat appears to be where the real meat is, and it is geared for big data, government, and centralized decentralization. Man WTF, I'm sorry I wasted my time investigating. Give your research, data, and content to -big brother-, er... everyone! Set it free! lol Additionally they're node-obsessed.js v0.0.0.2a throughout and the only mention of security or authentication methods I found in the admin guide were a section on OpenStack integration (+1 for that at least, to use their Google-speak).
