Kim Dotcom to Launch Secure Video Chat Service
Ashley Allen / 10 years ago
Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom has announced plans to release an encrypted, in-browser video chat service through his Twitter account. The service, called MegaChat, will also integrate high-speed transfer of large files, through Dotcom’s Mega sharing software.
Mega will soon release a fully encrypted and browser based video call & chat service including high-speed file transfers. Bye bye Skype 🙂

No US based online service provider can be trusted with your data. Skype has no choice. They must provide the US Government with backdoors.

Dotcom promises that his secure chat app will be available “soon”, but there are no firm details about how far along the project is or how long we have to wait for it. However, Dotcom has promised beta invites over the next few weeks, so we may see it sooner rather than later.
I will tweet about beta invites to #MegaChat in the coming weeks. This is going to be THE END of NSA mass surveillance & YOU WILL LOVE IT!
