      Hell, Whatsapp may be the worst of them all.

        And unfortunately, hard to move away from because so many people are using it and it’s hard to push other people to change. I’ve heard of a bill being discussed to force WhatsApp to become interoperable with other messaging platforms that use similar protocols, like Signal. I have WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram, but rarely use the other two because most people I know don’t. The minute interoperability happens I’m ditching WhatsApp, but I’m sure the Zuck will do all it can to prevent it…

          Whatsapp already implemented this, but as far as I know nobody took the offer. E.g. Signal and Threema don’t want to connect with WhatsApp.

            I see… Yeah, I guess user data could leak through their interaction with WhatsApp, and a messaging service that whose biggest selling argument is privacy wouldn’t want that… It’s a shame. Guess I’ll just keep using them with the people who do.
