Noticed a new website called Burn Note, which allows encrypted messages to
be sent and read one time before they are allegedly destroyed. Upon reading
the terms of service there seem to be quite a few clauses related to a
willingness to hand over user data to third parties, not limited to law
enforcement.
Here is the technical information that they are willing to disclose.

My concern about this sort of site is that it may lull users into a false
sense of security. Doesn't appear to be open source (like crypto.cat for
example) so it's a little difficult to really know what's going on there.
Do others have a take on this particular site?
Thanks.
