Just read through their faq

Some of the messaging community believes that software that is open source is more secure. It is our view that it is not.

In other words: "Some of the messaging community believes that software that can be controled by the user and is clear how it works is doing what the user wants it to. It is our view that it is not."

They are just like the rest of big companies. Remember when Facebook was a privacy respecting and friendly alternative for MySpace? Or Apple for IBM? Or Google for other search engines?
