What is tox?
Tox is a secure and private instant messaging application that allows users to connect with friends and loved ones without the fear of government or third-party surveillance. Unlike other popular messaging services, Tox is free to use and provides users with complete control over their communications. The application offers a range of features, including text messaging, voice calls, video conferencing, and file sharing, all of which are fully encrypted to ensure the privacy of users' conversations and content. Tox's decentralized, peer-to-peer architecture further enhances its security by eliminating the need for a centralized server, which could be a target for surveillance or data breaches. The application is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including desktop and mobile platforms, and supports multiple language interfaces to cater to a global user base
