And the founders quote is hilarious.

“if Apple truly cares about the privacy and security of their own iPhone users, why would they stop a service that enables their own users to now send encrypted messages to Android users, rather than using unsecure SMS?”

One of these things are their own iPhone users. One of them is not.

Swoosh.

If you want security, stay in the Apple ecosystem and you don’t need to send to insecure android users.
