  No need to look for a conspiracy, this sort of thing happens all the time to all sorts of companies. Maybe it’s a patent they want, maybe they want the talent, maybe they want the assets, maybe they want to remove a competitor… It’s really not that unusual.

    You’re right, if it was an intelligence service they’d want the service to continue while they have a backdoor.

  Maybe they want to suck part of the codebase into notion?

  I have a friend who works with ex Zenly employees, and that’s exactly what Snapchat did with them.
