Two questions.

My family insist on using Whatsapp for the family chats. I have to keep a copy on a device just so I can communicate with them. I do so under protest, as I was always told it isn’t secure. My brother has just said

“oh Whatsapp is encrypted, it’s perfectly secure”.

First, is it actually as encrypted and safe as my brother claims? That would solve everything.

Second, if it isn’t, where can I get some proof that we should switch to Telegram or whatever? Proof which doesn’t make me look like a raving loony?

    “It must be encrypted well because nothing has been leaked yet” is a very, very bad stance on encryption.

    In fact, every encryption is working well until it’s broken the first time.

    So no, you didn’t address shit.

      Yea yea, if even Signal Protocol cant do shit, your shit can’t do anything as well. 🤣

      All you guys do is talking without any solid base. Sigh.

            It is very unpleasant to communicate with you.

            It is still unclear what you meant with “your shit”.

            Apart from that I did not argue against the signal protocol, I argued against your idiotic stance on encryption.

            Maybe reading comprehension, eh?

              So? We just have differing view. No more, no less.

              Bring your shit elsewhere don’t present it to me.
