Whatsapp is not? Are you sure? I would assume NSA doing all it wants as well.
Whatsapp is out not because it can't let authorities audit it, but because of other economic reasons.
- FabHK 9y ago> Whatsapp is not? Are you sure? Well, it's E2E encrypted, that's for sure. The NSA, like the Mossad, can do pretty much anything if you're a high-value target, I'd assume, but personally, I don't think there is blanket mass surveillance of WhatsApp chats, no. > Whatsapp is out not because it can't let authorities audit it, but because of other economic reasons. Do you have any evidence or even arguments for that assertion?
- AmIFirstToThink 9y agoWeChat employs people in China.
- FabHK 9y agoBut WeChat is dominant in China already. Nobody gives a rat's ass about WhatsApp in China (except a few people communicating across borders), as far as I can tell. The market share/penetration of WeChat won't appreciably rise due to this act. It's not driven by economics.
- pertymcpert 9y agoYes it is.
