Once again you demonstrate a complete lack of knowledge on a topic. The
VAST majority of encryption is done with open source tools, you nimrod.
Not on;y that, but when companies try to write their own (like Telegram)

Please stop trying to weigh in on things you know absolutely nothing
about, it's embarrassing.
