+Summary:Darknet Social Network
+Description:
+Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists,
+and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate.
+Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram,
+Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices.
+If the Internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis.
+If the Internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users
+and their relationships from surveillance.
