To further thicken the plot imo NSA and other TLAs are a red herring in a world where WhatsApp was acquired for ~20B. I don't believe for one sec that messaging app peddlers just want to make sure users' conversations are secure.
- tptacek 8y agoWhen WhatsApp was acquired, it didn't have meaningful cryptographic security. Facebook funded the integration of Signal protocol into WhatsApp after the acquisition. So there goes that theory.
- a_imho 8y agoAbsolutely not. In fact, security was a differentiator for competing products when WhatsApp did not have it. Just not one people would care about. It fits nicely.
