#FBI - You need to use encrypted messaging for your safety.

Also #FBI - But it needs to have our backdoor that's magically only for the good guys so the government can keep spying on you also for your safety.

With the launch of our new post-quantum #encryption your data will now be safe from "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" tactics. 👨‍🌾🔓

This approach is often taken by government agencies like the NSA or #FBI in order to decrypt encrypted messages once the #technology is available. 🕵️

It is unacceptable that the FBI is searching US citizen's communications without first obtaining a warrant! 👮‍♂️ 📱

Take your privacy back by using end-to-end encryption today 💪 🔒
