content: As a former security guy, I can't applaud this kind of value assessment enough.  I think the incidence of people choosing to give up their privacy for the sake of some shiny app was bad back then; but I'm sure it's even worse now. That these apps demand too much, that they want to do too much, poorly, or have broken homebrew encryption, these are all negative 'features' that need to be reported to friends and contacts when you recommend other apps:  "it's like Telegram except it seems way more secure and uninvasive" is a summary I'd like to see.    (Ideally, "It's like TOX except it's been polished more" or "it's like what skype used to be, and for phones" would be good)
