    There was a “ultra private” messaging app that was actually created by a US state agency to catch the shady people who would desire to use an app promising absolute privacy. Operation “Trojan Shield”.

    The FBI created a company called ANOM and sold a “de-Googled ultra private smartphone” and a messaging app that “encrypts everything” when actually the device and the app logged the absolute shit out of the users, catching all sorts of criminal activity.

    I have no proof, but I do have a small list of companies I actually suspect of pulling a similar stunt… perhaps not necessarily attached to the FBI or any other agency, but something about their marketing and business model screams “fishing for people who have something to hide”
