From the linked techcrunch article: "new CEO, who joined late 2017, didn’t really care about the free users ... : ‘If Wire works for you, fine, but we don’t really care about what you think about our ownership or funding structure as our corporate clients care about security, not about privacy.'”
I honestly don't see how privacy and security do not go hand-in-hand.
From Wikipedia[0]: "Wire stores unencrypted meta data for every user" ... "Wire changed its privacy policy from "sharing user data when required by law" to "sharing user data when necessary"." ... "Wire did not inform its users about this policy change, which makes it even more suspicious, considering that it is about a tool that promises privacy to its users."
I use to speak highly of Wire a few years ago but have not used their programs in a while. It's pretty clear that non-corporate users and their expectations of privacy are of little importance to them.
