Because no American service can not be trusted, Kim Dotcom launch MegaChat.
Since the first revelations of Edward Snowden, more and more users attach importance to the confidentiality of data on the Internet. For example, as we explained, following the scandal PRISM search engine traffic DuckDuckGo , a follower of zero-tracking , climbed.
As for Kim Dotcom, it will launch a service similar to Skype but also (theoretically) secure. The announcement was made on Twitter:
"Mega will soon release a video call service including chat and transfer files at high speed, fully encrypted and browser. Bye bye Skype "

"No online service provider based in the US can not be trusted with our data. Skype has no choice. They must provide backdoors (backdoor) to the US government, "he added in another publication.
And also, it would seem that this new service (which has already been mentioned previously by Kim Dotcom) has already been tested. You can already get a glimpse of this video (just after the first hour), where it is used by Eward Snowden.
The service name could be MegaChat since that is how Kim Dotcom has called in another tweet.
