As to "Use Free Software": the OTR protocol currently stands the test against various agencys and holds strong. I suggest to use software that makes use of it, e.g. ChatSecure. Also, If you wan't someone who's not a random person on the internet telling you this: go watch the talk of Jacob Appelbaum and Laura Poitras from the 31C3.

The Problem with closed source software is an will always be, that we can never be certain of it's security (at least not without reverse engineering every version and fully understanding it).
