Co-founder denies Apple's claims of security and privacy concerns for its users.
Apple blocked Beeper Mini’s iMessage Android app, but Beeper will keep pushing::Co-founder denies Apple’s claims of security and privacy concerns for its users.
Beeper is a dumb idea and a privacy nightmare. Don’t use a service like that, ever.
HOWEVER, Apple is also full of shit here. If they really cared about the security of their users, they would enable them to use encrypted RCS messages. Instead, they force them to use SMS when texting anyone without an iPhone. It’s an outdated and insecure protocol.

Beeper mini is much more secure than beeper, they don’t even need your password
Beeper Mini is no less private than using iMessage on an iPhone.
It doesn’t even require an AppleID let alone require your credentials for one.
The cloud service that Apple didn’t block is the one that requires you to give your Apple credentials to a cloud bridge.
