[ബാലശങ്കർ സി]

So, in Cryptocat, Government can know who sent the message, but not what
the message was.
I don't want government to even know I am using it. I know it is possible
to use TOR and bypass it. Still, from what I inferred, Kontalk saves me
from using an extra application like TOR na?

PS : From an Indian perspective, by default my internet speed is horrible,
using TOR is unthinkable.. :D
