It's the one Snowden said to use. End to end encryption. They're non profit - which of course can be controlled and basically owned by big money "donations". But if nobody else can read an end to end to end encrypted message then nobody can.

How fucking absurd to have to go to extra lengths just to have a private conversation.

Isn't Snowden a spook? Also Jack Dorsey says its cool? Makes me suspicious, but maybes its decent?
