- Change the name. It's all fun and games, until brute governments with zero patience arrest someone, and politically charged headlines make the legitimate use of encryption harder.
- This is plainly irresponsible, and irresponsible security software development is unwelcome in the broader cryptography and infosec communities.
- Closing the issue without even discussing sets a pretty negative collaboration tone, too. You have great momentum in just one day, don't squander it by alienating possible supporters and contributors.
- You have a well thought out, well designed application here. Don't throw that away for the sake of a joke.
- As menzoic on HN suggested, what about "Freedom"? It sends the right message.

This is the worst fucking name in the world and it's a gift to every single dictator, authoritarian and anti-privacy anti-liberty advocate out there. Please change the name to something that won't drive potential users away.

Hmm @henryboldi just closed this serious issue without even so much as a comment. That doesn't communicate that this is a project that really cares about promoting the use of encryption.

Thought what someone wrote on HN was appropriate:
A new app called Felony allows ISIS and online pedophiles to communicate in secret with ease.

Ok guys, let's put down the pitchforks, I think he got the message.

+1 for changing this name, this is bad marketing (though I personally think it's pretty funny). I think a good deal of potential users will be turned off of using this for fear of oppression etc.
