Here is where I gave up reading lol
WhatsApp does use that same Signal protocol for its messages but that's very poor writing considering all the tracked metadata arguably makes it just as insecure as Telegram.
Ownership by Facebook renders WhatsApp inherently untrustworthy.
Or possibly a user's phone who was a party to the Whatsapp conversation was collected as evidence and unlocked by the user.
I might be missing the point, but isn’t this a decently dumbed-down description of the difference between services that are end-to-end encrypted and those that are not?
Are you saying that is wrong?
'Truly secure' and 'whatsapp' don't belong in the same sentence, I don't know what else to say but that it is laughable.
Ah, gotcha. I thought your gripe was with the encrypted vs end to end encrypted bit.
