Memo says cybersecurity office deemed WhatsApp a high risk due to ‘lack of transparency in how it protects user data’
Somebody must have an exploit for the platform. Guessing it’s Israel because of the messaging from a few weeks ago by various countries’ security concerns.
Got a link handy?

I gotta ask, what’s the situation with the senate? It would seem like a colossal lack of communication if the house bans it but the senate doesn’t. Or if the senate already banned it, why the house didn’t then? Didn’t they be relatively on the same page?
I am not allowed to use WhatsApp on my company phone, so it’s hard to believe that the US government has apparently been fine with it up until now.
And yet so many people still refusing to switch to Signal, even tho Whatsapp is officially declared unsave by the government.
