Noone should trust a service that advertises itself as being safe from governments ears. Pure and simple. First, there's a risk the NSA is actually the one initiating those services. Secondly, in cryptography, it's very hard if not impossible to effectively prove your messages are not read by someone else. Cryptography experts do not tend to work for people's interests. And if some do, the NSA has too many resources to just defeat those who try to not be listened to. I understand the intention is noble, but if you release such a safe tool, the NSA will view it as a terrorist threat, because that's the job they have been given, and they will end up listening anyways. I can't understand the paranoia about all this. If you're really afraid the NSA might use information against you, it's because you made political enemies, in this case, why use digital means of communication at all ? I really tend to think it's being cool to use those cryptographic features, rather than anything else, and that's worrying.
