> [please don't] make it seem like it's their fault, it's not. it's todesktop's fault if anything

What?! It's not some kind of joke. This could _already_ literally kill people, stole money and ruin lives.

It isn't even an option to avoid taking reaponsibility for the decisions which lead to security and safety of users for any app owner/author.

It's as simple as this: no safety record to 3rd party - no trust, for sure. No security audit - no trust. No transparency in the audit - no trust.

Failing to make the right decision does not exempt from the liability, and should not.

Is it a kindergarden with "it's not me, it's them" play? It does not matter who failed, the money could has been be stolen already from the random ones (who just installed an app wrapped with this todesktop installer), and journalists could have been tracked and probably already killed in some dictatorship or conflict.

Bad decisions does not always make the bad owner.

But don't take it lightly, and don't advocate (for those who just paid you some money) "oh, they are innocent". As they are not. Be a grown-up, please, and let's make this world better together.
