  It’s end-to-end-to-end encryption.

    Moxie helped WhatsApp integrate the Signal protocol for e2ee, but I dont trust thatt they never implemented any backdoors in their protocol after Moxie was done helping them.

    IMO, just use Signal anyways. Fuck Meta

        Do you believe everything you hear a company say who has proven themselves to be untrustworthy?

        End to end doesn’t necessarily mean that the middle can’t read it, it just means strangers listening can’t read it. WhatsApp isn’t open source, and auditing that encryption on a binary level would prove difficult.

        As we have seen, companies can also bow to the wills of governments, and if enough pressure is applied they often agree to backdoors.

        If it’s not open source, it’s a scam.
