A number of intelligence services with growing budgets would be happy to invest in such an app.

No idea about credibility of the sources used, but I stumbled over this: http://revolution-news.com/us-government-funds-favorite-nsa-...

edit: atm. 111 points and I love that. Wish pg could fix my karma, I really like even numbers and I feel that the karma crave is addictive..

I thought it was actually pretty good for marketing.

probably not if the headline is "Telegram probably isn't as secure as ISIS thinks"
