Google launched its new Allo texting app Wednesday, and it's pretty fun. You can use it to get information from a bot, send your friends doodles, mess with font sizes — all that good stuff.
But stop yourself before sending anything that might be incriminating. (**t a bad rule of thumb on the internet.) By default, Allo will store your messages on Google's servers, a number of outlets (http://www.techmeme.com/160921/p2#a160921p2) reported Wednesday, which means they can be accessed by the tech corporation — and theoretically turned over to law enforcement should the need arise.*
