Google’s Allo fails to use end-to-end encryption by default by Graham Cluley.
The lack of end-to-end encryption by default in Google’s Allo might look like a concession to law enforcement.
Graham points out given the choice of no government or Google spying versus government and Google spying, Google chose the latter.
Anyone working on wrappers for apps to encrypt their output and/or to go dark in terms of reporting to the mother ship?
PS: Yes, Allo offers encryption you can “turn on” but will you trust encryption from someone who obviously wants to spy on you? Your call.
