  I did and nowhere is Signal mentioned in the article.

  You state Whatsapp uses Signal. So, again: how?

    The article does not describe what encryption it uses, it described how they’re abusing it. Whatsapp using Signal protocol is public knowledge.

    What I’m trying to say is that a company using signal for it’s messaging app does not imply your data is safe from that company or governments.

      Yes we know that it used the Signal protocol in 2016 but there is no doubt it drifted a lot since. A lot of changes were made to Signal since and we don’t know how WhatsApp protocol evolved. You can’t assume they’re still equivalent now. And one is open source with reproducible builds while the other is not.
