[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4125645, member: 35036"] End to end encryption is good, but at the same time, its a lot like a padlock. If someone wants in, and has the means, it wont stop them. Further, I have concerns about a few things. [LIST=1] [*][B]Metadata.[/B] Metadata exposes who’s talking, when, how long and where. Message data stored at rest in world-wide data centers. Its a Facebook app. Facebook has literally made their fortune off of selling ads. Those ads are built, targeted, and distributed in a process facilitated by metadata analysis and they are able to sell users data to online data brokers, who then sell your info to anyone who wants it. Metadata collection is literally the cornerstone of NSA intelligence gathering, both of American citizens and other countries citizens. [*][B]The WhatsApp legal agreement.[/B] When a user downloads and signs up for WhatsApp, they are agreeing to a legal contract. What does that agreement allow WhatsApp to do with that data? What do they consent to collecting? How do they collect it? Talk about nipple rings around your phone for a week with facebook open. Or even with it not open. Search every day for 3 similar phrases to this on google, not on the facebook app. At the end of the week go to facebook and see what kinda ads and suggested pages you get thrown in your face. [*]None of this is any safer on a home computer. [/LIST] Also, Signal is literally a US Government, or perhaps multinational intelligence honeypot. Depending on who you believe. If its run by any part of the Five Eyes community the US gets the info whether they admit to it or not. [/QUOTE]
