Snowden: Don’t use Google’s new messaging app

Edward Snowden says it will compromise your privacy.

Google has received much criticism for changes it made to Allo upon its release, as opposed to what privacy features it said the app would have when it was first announced back in May. Then, Google said the app would have end-to-end-encryption in “Incognito Mode” and store messages only for a limited time. However, when the app was released to the public, it did not use end-to-end-encryption and reportedly stores user messages indefinitely—which law enforcement could access with a warrant.

So, what messaging app should you use if you’re worried about privacy? Snowden says the best messenger app is Signal.
