- mrkeen 2y agoWhatsapp makes the claim the messages/calls are end-to-end encrypted. (But the app is also running on each end, where the unencrypted messages live. There's nothing stopping that app from sharing those messages directly with FB.)
- saurik 2y agoNo: while there are some notable (and maybe critical) differences surrounding how group chats are handled, by and large WhatsApp literally uses Signal's protocol.
- whoitwas 2y agoOkay. The messages are encrypted in flight. I will never use a Meta product.
- saurik 2y agoGreat: and presumably you have good reasons for that. On the other side, I will never use a Moxie Marlinspike product. But, for both of us: the messages themselves being insecure isn't a concern, so spreading FUD about such is net harmful.
- whoitwas 2y agoYou trust Meta? haha I don't think there's any need to spread misinformation. They're one of the worst companies on the planet. Right up there with Nestle.
