I mean the WhatsApp founders literally quit with millions left on the table over "disagreements with facebook senior leadership" and then promptly made a huge donation to Signal. If that wasn't them saying "HEY THEY ARE REMOVING E2E" without violating NDA I don't know what it was.
- dotBen 4y agoWhether or not this is a canary for negative impact to the integrity of WhatsApp e2e, this move was enough to move my primary communication to Signal. Jan Koum not only had unvested shares, he was on the BOARD of Facebook and decided to quit. Along with the donation to Signal, I don't think the magnitude of this action was widely appreciated at the time.
