 This repository contains a Rust client for consuming the API provided by the [Parsec service](https://github.com/parallaxsecond/parsec).
 The low-level functionality that this library uses for IPC is implemented in the [interface crate](https://github.com/parallaxsecond/parsec-interface-rs).
 
-## Filesystem permission check
-
-To make sure that the client is communicating with a trusted Parsec service, some permission checks
-are done on the socket location. Please see the
-[Recommendations for Secure Deployment](https://parallaxsecond.github.io/parsec-book/threat_model/secure_deployment.html)
-for more information.
-This feature is activated by default but, knowing the risks, you can remove it with:
-```
-cargo build --features no-fs-permission-check
-```
-It is also desactivated for testing.
