Instead of checking his bag or frisking his person, authorities demanded Haas give them access to his phone and computer so they could examine them out of sight “in the back.”
Less than two weeks prior, Haas had launched a new messaging app, Converso, which is currently available on Apple and Android devices. (You can download it here.)
Think WhatsApp or Signal except, unlike those apps, Converso actually protects your data from being sold to third parties or even accessed via federal subpoenas.
Whereas other encrypted messaging apps store all user conversations on external servers that can be accessed after the fact, all conversations on Converso (including calls) are only managed on users’ devices and are never uploaded onto a server.
