Hrm. I'm torn both ways. I think a world with whatsapp is less oppressive than a world without whatsapp, even if people can spy on it, tap into it, etc- because it allows people to communicate where they previously might not have been able to. A world with secure whatsapp would, of course, be even better than a world with insecure whatsapp.
- doktrin 13y ago> I think a world with whatsapp is less oppressive than a world without whatsapp, even if people can spy on it, tap into it, etc- because it allows people to communicate where they previously might not have been able to. That's a fair stance. I don't have strong feelings vis a vis WhatsApp, so this is more of a general statement : I think the illusion of secure communication is more dangerous than insecure communication. People who think they can't be spied on will expose themselves in ways they otherwise wouldn't.
- visakanv 13y agoI agree with that. I think it's important to always assume that your communications are insecure.
