I’m getting strong Trump “You’re the puppet” vibes from Pavel Durov here:

“The encryption of Signal (=WhatsApp, FB) was funded by the US Government. I predict a backdoor will be found there within 5 years from now,”

Update:
Telegram’s crap crypto isn’t even enables, transmitting all messages in plaintext by default.

If you’re looking for a secure, decentralized, cross platform alternative to Signal, consider ToxChat.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that level of alliteration in a Cory headline.

It’s not so much a headline as a Doctorow-centric list of tags. :grin:
