Hopefully not (although possibly) just like Skype: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_security#Eavesdropping_b...
Presumably the encryption of open source SIP clients and Firefox hello are more trustworthy(?).

#4He was a professional conman (before he made money with mega by actively pushing pirated content) known for making false claims, so be weary about the reliability of his encryption claims.

Skype? Microsoft has systematically ruined skype. It used to be a great service, though.

Also he's admitted to snitching on people to law enforcement for his own benefit. I wouldn't trust the man with anything private. Ever.

Good thing we have the Government to protect us. At least someone we can trust with all we do online.

It seems to me that he's an opportunist. Rather we trust this particular service to each his own. He seems like a smart business person. I think he knows that gaining trust is an important obstacle to this business. So I'll keep my eyes open and see what they do with this to gain our trust.

Skype is getting more and more useless with every iteration. Encryption is gone, file transfer first stopped to recognize direct LAN connection between clients and now some of the files get stored "in the cloud", the design is just atrocious, advertisements annoying (thank gods for workarounds).
And yesterday my 5.9 installation stopped working, so I have to put up with that.
