Mozilla’s Send is basically the Snapchat of file sharing

the popo use snap chat 'logs' in investigations all the time. I don't think anything is ephemeral on the interwebs. im not sure i'de send anything more sensitive than a shoping list on it.

As I understand it, this stuff is encrypted from sender to receiver, including who from and to. So even if it is received its not traceable beyond its existance. Who sent and where went is non-recoverable. What is said is also non recoverable as well as any trail of it.
I think. Smart guys tell me.

it would probably stop a casual snooper. i doubt the encryption would stand up to a subpoena or a super computer for long. you dont have to break the private key, just the shared key to open & read the message.
about encryption. The deletion function is nice but like snapchat not precisely true.
i suppose you could confuse snoopers by taking a jpg and saving it as a text file and then transmitting it. the person on the other end renames it as a jpg and reads the message. it just delays any determined snooper. this is the kinda software that attracts snoopers like a fly to sugar - or like British reporters to dead peoples voice mail.
if you and your intended recipient are using a one time pad then added encryption isn't necessary. if well designed, the message is sent out with normal traffic making identifying the 'nugget' difficult.
