Noted crazyman John McAfee launches 'secure messaging app' for folks who trust John Mcafee

Nothing establishes indie cred better than a dry erase board animation!

Too bad the product is bullshit, putting your messages on a server you don’t control is the problem we’ve been worried about ever since Snowden. And the recipient doesn’t even need to unlock the message read it, it’s just magically legible? How the fuck does that work?

If this was actually “revolutionary” it would be a end user to end user communication, at worst only using a third party for finding the destination device. There’s still risks with this process but at least your data isn’t rotting on someone’s server just waiting for the NSA to swing by and scoop it up.
