Another piece in Google's mass surveillance business model.
An not even encrypted "on the surface" (as Facebook's WhatsApp):

Not in this life.
- reitanqild 8y ago> An not even encrypted "on the surface" (as Facebook's WhatsApp): As a Telegram user who feel betrayed by and doesn't like WhatsApp, -can we try to keep this sane? Unless you have extraordinary proofs then WhatsApp is effectively E2E encrypted as verified by multiple industry experts. The current problem is not message encryption but metadata leaking to an owner that is known to "move fast and break things", and is considered untrustworthy by many of us. - that is, again, unless you have proof that their encryption is broken. I do not recommend WhatsApp as long as they are owned by Facebook and don't have a business model that is compatible with putting users first, I just think we should be careful about throwing around accusations.
