Can you elaborate on the "owned by Facebook" part? I couldn't find any link between OpenWhisperSystems and Facebook apart from OWS helping WhatsApp integrating their Crypto.
- dijit 9y agoFacebook employs Moxie. I can't find public information about this interestingly but he's on the internal roster of employees.
- Vinnl 9y agoI can imagine that being some leftover from the days when he worked on WhatsApp integrating the Signal protocol, because he works for/leads Open Whisper Systems.
- evgen 9y agoOnce you are on the payroll as a contractor or FTE you are in the employee DB table and show up in the internal wiki as a current or former employee. Moxie was a consultant with the WhatsApp team to integrate the signal protocol (putting it into Messenger was done independently out of the London office without direct input from Moxie or his team IIRC) so he should show up if you do an employee search.
- lawnchair_larry 9y agoAre you sure that is an employee roster, or does it have contractors too? Moxie isn't even his real name, so it seems unlikely that it would be displayed this way if he were a real FTE.
