And here I thought the E2EE of Whatsapp was based on the one developed by Signal or at least so they say.
But I guess it's hard to inspect anything, if it's no open source software.
I'm so glad there's SIgnal and a lot of my contacts use it.
Back when it was called Textsecure it was a different story.

So that ad campaign that they ran saying no one but you can see your messages. That was a bit strange that they were pushing it, since no one appeared to be saying otherwise, might be a lie? I never would have guessed.

Didn't read the article, but maybe a back door to spy on people?
