A PR crafted response that doesn't indicate anything. Facebook is one of the largest centralized services on the internet, and has no desire to lessen that.

> I'm grateful for everything you've done to help connect the world, and for everything you've taught me, including about encryption and its ability to take power from centralized systems and put it back in people's hands. Those values will always be at the heart of WhatsApp.
Of course, we do have to look at this response, as well as Koum's original post, through the lens of a PR piece.

"Connecting the world" to our lucrative public manipulation platform. I'm sick of the phrase.

More "connect the world" crap, the same spiel from the Congress hearings.
"Jan: I will miss working so closely with you. I'm grateful for everything you've done to help connect the world, and for everything you've taught me, including about encryption and its ability to take power from centralized systems and put it back in people's hands. Those values will always be at the heart of WhatsApp."
