But with such dank memes... that, that can't be the government! Pokemon Go to Utopia! (though a link to check out would be cool :p)

I checked out their website: https://beta.u.is/

Seems they have a pretty good ad/ui team. But they call themselves the "1984 group" which is creepy especially considering the name of their product is Utopia.

It says " All communication is secure and protected by Curve25519 high-speed elliptic curve cryptography while local storage is encrypted by 256-bit AES. " so maybe it is a valuable tool. Or maybe it's a honeypot. Who knows.

I can't find anything about their "cryptocurrency" anywhere. I just find random comments in broken English on cryptocurrency websites telling people to invest in it and that it's great for beginners. They keep bringing this up on the Utopia site: that you'll make money as you use their service, more than they do privacy, as if this is the highlight, not the privacy.

I wonder if it really is a honeypot and they're just collecting data. In their promo video (which ironically discusses everything you're potentially giving them access to by using their services..), while discussing privacy, they had a clip where the narrator asks if "you'd like it if your secret searches became known to the public" and on screen the google homepage pops up and someone types "free teen..." and the clip cuts away quickly.. What company would want to advertise to pedos (and essentially promote pedophilia on its "encrypted" platform)? And a built-in image viewer, file transfer program, encrypted chats for private groups, instant messenger, email, custom emojis, crypto wallet AND make money while doing that with "Crypton"? And they claim their miner won't affect your computer's performance or overclock it like others? Sounds like a sweet deal (and like a nice trap for a certain demographic who aren't savvy enough for the darknet), almost too sweet.

The 'reversal' of what is meant to be meant and to be to be combined with internet Irony/pranking/cracking (I mean, every 'secure' method/service draws in "le P-DOs" and it's fun to do stuff with their info).

A lot of 'brave'-browsing kiddos hyping their Palantir Sponsored 'secure' browsing, same same though the one gets more hyped than the other (and both smell but not like the other )(but still bad).
