Can you explain that?<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;It\u2019s now so difficult to be private that it will be the new state everyone strives for. But I don\u2019t think we have to convince people of the need for privacy, it\u2019ll just happen naturally\u2026 [just as] fashion is always going from skinny jeans to bell-bottoms and back again. The generation below always over-corrects to the one before, and you can already see this happening.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;You\u2019ve created a messaging app, Wickr, that allows people to message each other in a completely secure, private way. A lot of people would say they\u2019ve got nothing to hide, so why bother?<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;We\u2019re just trying to be the number one messenger in the world. I think privacy and security are reasons why our users will stay with us because there is no way that your information can ever be used, viewed or kept. The difference between us and what the big companies are doing is that they are encrypting messages between a device and their servers, whereas we are doing it device to device. So, we don\u2019t know who our users are, who they\u2019re talking to or what they\u2019re saying. We can\u2019t hand that information over: we don\u2019t have it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nico Sell: You\u2019ve claimed that privacy is the new fame.
