    What was you initial intentions when writing the code? Were you paid to do it for a specific project that was obviously used for “bad”?

      Nope. Started as a boring b2b product, over time it evolved to be more generic and usable by pretty much anyone. It was about three years after the first release that we found out it was being used by terrorists (I think ISIS?) , then pedophile groups a few months after that. Both were brought to our attention by random news on the web. They weren’t our customers, but official militaries for a few countries actually are.
