Is this sarcasm of some kind? Is there some joke in here about Whisper Systems vs. Open Whisper Systems?

This comment seems baseless and unfounded at best. Is there context I am missing?

"Apparently partners with NSA" is very different from "for plausibly-legitimate reasons, runs only a platform that has an increased attack surface".

That's like saying that Ubuntu partners with script kiddies because they're slow about fixing security bugs in LTSes. I understand the point you're trying to make, but no.
