Comment on How Whisper app tracks ‘anonymous’ usersparent

Moxie,

Nothing I like more than watching you destroy snake-oil companies endangering user privacy, like this one and also Telegraph etc. Let's hope TextSecure/Redphone/Signal when they merge into one brand will get the amount of users they really deserve. This stuff is never just about gossip in Washington DC, it's always about the bigger picture of people in Sudan, China, Russia etc who are led into a false sense of security.

Man, I would love to see some of the pushers of this snake oil software crap in court some day as a result of the dangers they often knowingly expose their users to.

BTW - I've been meaning to drop you a secure mail about some other stuff but will do it next week.

Do you have any links about Telegraph endangering user privacy? I had a friend try to get me to start using it. I haven't really had time yet to do a lot of research on it and would love some insight if they are fishy at all.

Thanks for providing these links. Very interesting stuff.

I heard about Telegram after it's rise in popularity in Asian countries; shame that they have (BIG) issues like this.
