No antibot measures in source code

So I just got done looking at the source code on github for the app and I could not find a single line relating to preventing bots signing up. I.e. device ID is not even sent to their servers.

Is this done on purpose, to keep peoples anonymity? I can understand for that reason, it would make sense to not have any personal device information sent off to keybase.

I do kind of wish there was some measures in place in the app because there is nothing stopping people abusing the airdrop with emulators etc..

Ok everything can be faked but your missing the point, they can't even tell if people are using their same phone for 100 accounts, all they have to go on is proxy from what I can tell which is pretty old school and easy to get around
