Can we get a "delete account" feature? I made an account to have a look, it's really cool, but I'd like to remove my account now. I sent you a message on it

"with firebase you can set security rules for specific documents and collections in the backend"

This is absolutely NOT what encryption is. This is access control.

I didn't say it's encrypted but access is limited which means no one can see your chats or messages

Yeah but you still must do that. Regulation doesn't care about whether an app is open source or not.

Hey man I'm really sorry for treating like that I didn't understand you my apologies !!!
I didn't understand that my database was exposed and also the service account was exposed on GitHub.
I had an 'allow read' at the top of my firebase rules it was for testing and I forgot to delete it but now I fixed it and also I revoked the old service account and made a new one.
For deleting the account I just got lazy to do it and I have exams these weeks but I put a warning on GitHub and on this post for people to not use a fake google account.
MAN thank you so much and I hope you accept my apologies.
