- sneak 5y agoDoesn't matter; everyone else you talk to on WhatsApp is uploading those same conversations to Apple and Google effectively unencrypted.
- baby 5y agoI mean that's the problem of any protocol in general. Your opsec can be great, but if it relies on someone else's opsec...
- quaintdev 5y agoAnd that is why I dont use WhatsApp. Self hosted matrix is super awesome.
- reginold 5y agoWhat do you do instead? Replies like this I may mistakenly interpret as "doesn't matter, so I'll do nothing about it" which is just an excuse.
- sneak 5y agoI deleted my Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram accounts, as well as iMessage/iCloud (same issue, unencrypted backups). I am only reachable via email and Signal. I got my contacts to switch to Signal.
- blackoil 5y agoHow does that solve the problem you mentioned? People on other side still may not be careful with mail/signal data privacy.
- approxim8ion 5y agoMail is beyond redemption, but Signal for example only offers encrypted local backups and no cloud backups.
