There are no 'backdoor' shenanigans, they comply with subpoenas like everyone else (they uniquely provide a transparency report) the Schneier claim was speculative and he dismissed it later. In this case it's phishing, read the post.

Can we please stop the 'is it really open?!' silliness that gets triggered after every such incident. They specifically said that there will be a code drop, as for the app removal it's probably due to copyright owner request and they had to

It is tax-funded protection for IP owners. It threatens internet safe harbors and requires intermediaries to act as law-enforcement. The potential for error is huge and any false positive can be disastrous to online business. It sets a prec

They are too young of a company to be pulling this sort of seedy stuff. Also ‘privacy’?! I hope the irony isn’t lost on anyone. It wasn't very well thought-out, as when a net privacy panic starts spreading like wildfire through the media th
