Snowden: Don’t Use Google Allo “Encrypted” Messenger

in #news8 years ago


Google has released an encrypted messaging app, Allo. According to Edward Snowden, you should never use it.

Google unveiled the app earlier this week, joining a host of popular messaging apps offering increased levels of privacy. Allo is not private by default, but has an option allowing for conversations to be taken “incognito,” supposedly employing end-to-end encryption.

However, Snowden insists that Allo is not to be trusted. Via a series of tweets, the former NSA whistleblower drove this opinion home, saying: “Last year, our secret court approved 100% of requests for surveillance. They would cover Allo.” He went so far as to brand the app a direct trap for spying on citizens after lulling them into a fale sense of security, calling it “Google Surveillance”
