        This particular trend being the one where the young, bright, ethical start-up turns into the sort of monster they originally rallied against, ensh*ttifying their product and spouting all the same reasons for it.

        Signal is relatively young, bright and ethical. The cynic says “for now”.

          To get encryption one must start a “secret chat”. It’s an opt-in! Regular users will not even know the option exists, that’s how well hidden it is.
