The importance of secure Messenger tools goes beyond just reliable technology, it must be developed and have its infrastructure maintained by a trustworthy group with a history of responsible stewardship.
Abstract:
--
Excerpt:
Developers should have a solid history of responding to legal threats to their platform. This is also critical. Developers must not only protect their users from technical threats, but from legal threats as well. Two positive examples come readily to mind: Apple and Open Whisper Systems, the developers of iMessage and Signal respectively. Apple famously stood up for the security of their users in 2016 in response to an FBI call for a backdoor in their iPhone device encryption, and Open Whisper Systems successfully fought back against a grand jury subpoena gag order.
