I use to think the same thing, until I listened to this episode of Darknet Diaries:

- xmprt 5y ago1/3 American Teenagers use the app according to Kik... I have a feeling they're not counting right because that doesn't sound right to me.
- toyg 5y agoAfter reading this, it's clear everybody knows (multiple legal challenges, involvement by MS...) and nobody with actual power wants to crack down on it. Safe haven or not, when authorities want to destroy a sketchy business, they have a number of weapons at their disposal. To me, it all suggests Kik (and by extension, possibly, Medialab) might well be some sort of law-enforcement front at this point.
