> attributed some of this delay to his difficulty in finding independent experts who hadn't signed the open letter. They emailed me asking why I hadn't signed and if it meant that I didn't agree with the petition. Funny thing, two reasons why I hadn't signed. First, it was because I only caught the petition when it was already deep with many people I respect a lot and I felt I added nothing And second, I was conflicted because i'd previously had a disagreement with The Guardian on another story that got kicked up all the way to editorial and I felt was never adequately resolved and was largely swept under the rug. After that experience I didn't feel that The Guardian were genuinely going to make a best effort to resolve what was their own mess, again. edit: to add, it drives me fucking nuts every time I hear someone repeat "I heard WhatsApp is insecure". Thanks again, Gruardian.
