Hello,does anyone here know if the messenger 'Briar' can be used in China? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Or does the operating system or 'WeChat' immediately report it to the government?

Maybe someone here can say something about this. Gladly also about 'Briar'.

I mean if the goverment can see which apps you have installed (can they?) then they probably wouldnt like briar. Briar itself is a very good and secure project, that can still work even if the goverment shuts down internet access. So if you have the option of putting a custom operating system on your phone, then briar is a good solution for anonymous communication.

I love Briar, because it can also work over Bluetooth. It is sometimes quite handy
