Since you're here, care to comment on:

> “He’s a guy that we’ll track for the rest of his life and he’ll have no idea we’ll be watching him,” the same Whisper executive said.

Is that a quote that the Guardian invented from whole cloth, or is that how you see your users?



It's a bit reminiscent of "They 'trust me'. Dumb fucks."[0], if the Guardian is accurate here.

while I am willing to believe the Guardian may have overstated certain things, it's hard to imagine what they'd have to gain from fabricating a full quote .. Whisper editor-in-chief claims complete fabrication, but unless he was there the whole time, not sure if he can do so credibly (plus, i assume journalists still take notes). Why would anyone fabricate something that easily checked?
