1. Mobile apps are native, not web views 2. That's not what the TLS key was subpoenaed for--it was a very different system with a set of vulnerabilities we don't have, including a server-side encrypt mode and non-PFS TLS ciphers. 3. Again, if we are part of your threat model, you can run the web client locally and audit it yourself if this is a concern.

I'm glad the mobile apps don't download code, and I really appreciate the correction on Lavabit; ugh, that project was embarrassing. I'm personally not happy with auditing local clients unless I have a mild assurance that other participants are running the same code, at some point, which can't be achieved with the web.
