Session Private Messenger Faces Shutdown in 90 Days Without Funding Goal
By

Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
The Session Technology Foundation (STF) has announced that Session private messenger will shut down in 90 days unless it reaches its funding goal. The foundation has received $65,000 in donations, which is enough to maintain critical infrastructure for the next 90 days but insufficient to retain full-time developers. All paid staff and developers will be let go, and the organization is making a final appeal for community donations to save the privacy-focused messaging platform.
