I checked Threema because of this post (didn't know about it) and while searching, some people are complaining about it being under control of the Russian gov?

  Threema does not fall under Russian jurisdiction, so no. http://www.ewdn.com/2017/03/16/russia-adds-intrernational-messenger-threema-to-official-registry-with-a-view-to-control-users-communications/ http://www.ewdn.com/2017/03/16/russia-adds-intrernational-me... > Interviewed by Runet Echo, a Threema spokesperson said, however: “We operate under Swiss law and are neither allowed nor willing to provide any information about our users to foreign authorities.”

    That seems suspiciously specific. >foreign authorities This reads as "but local authorities are no problem" to me.

  This is just Crypviser spreading lies. No, being on that Russian register doesn't imply any intention to comply with any wiretapping / censorship requests; in fact, IIRC, it doesn't even necessarily imply any consent to being added to the register. Saying that Treema's being added to the register means it "moved under the control of the Russian government" is no different than adding their company name and address to some Excel file on your computer and then saying that Threema has moved under your control.
