Sorry, but I can't find any sign of an "Open Messaging Service" by Yahoo anywhere. I can't find clients, I can't find sources. The OP doesn't cite a single post

Sorry, but I can't find any sign of an "Open Messaging Service" by Yahoo anywhere. I can't find clients, I can't find sources. The OP doesn't cite a single post but brazenly makes broad assertions with nothing to back them up. Citations, links, anything, please? Edit: Apparently the post is fictional. I didn't realize this when I skimmed it.

The post is fictional; set in 2015. "Two years ago Edward Snowden released a slow trickle of highly damaging revelations about the NSA and the erosion of privacy that affected people not just in the USA, but across the world." Sorry, if that wasn't clear.

  It would be nice to tag something as fiction in its title here, in a category on Medium, or something like that. Sorry to be a downer, but I come here to read news and often only skim the (oft useless) introduction to an article.

  Not quite clear - took a minute for me to figure out. Maybe I am in the minority though :)

You realise that this post speaks about 2013 as it would be in the past, right?

  Oops. Where is that, I can't find it?

    Hm, I'm confused now - maybe my sentence wasn't clear enough. What I wanted to say is wether he realises that the blogpost was written in the future (2 years from now)..

      I now get what you were saying! :)
