Meredith Whittaker
==================

Per John Kiriakou, Meredith Whittaker is working on a new business model for the encrypted-messaging app Signal, as part of what he frames as a necessary search for secure communications alternatives, and, in his assessment, "what she's doing is working." His remarks came in response to a fellow panelist's question, itself prompted by Andrew Feinstein's recent talk at the same venue on the multiple factors that ended apartheid, about whether activists should look beyond leaks and data toward other forms of resistance.

He contrasts her effort with ProtonMail's own attempt at a new business model, saying ProtonMail was compromised through an intergovernmental agreement that allowed authorities to obtain information about who was communicating with whom.
