Your personal and believe to be "private" messages — private does not mean private.

When I say, unlimited unrestricted access I mean, if "John Doe" works for the government, he just logs in and can find anyone, anywhere, anytime.
No request, no warrant, no asking, no Meta employee anywhere in the process — they have full autonomy and authority.

Meta is sharing everyone's account information with the United States Government. — Everyone.
If you have an account within Meta's ecosystem — Facebook, Threads, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger — We just handed over full access and control to the United States. No warrant and no notice. We just gave them full access and the right to pull up anyone, anywhere.

So. Mein Antrag an die Lehrerkonferenz zum Thema: Whatsapp als Kommunikationsmittel für dienstliche Angelegenheiten verbieten", wurde nicht in die Anträge aufgenommen. Stattdessen habe ich übermorgen einen Gesprächstermin bei der Schulleitung. Ich bin gespannt.
#Whatsapp 👎🏻
#Telegram 👎🏻
#Matrix 👎🏻
#Signal 👎🏻
#DeltaChat 👍🏻
"Online security is an adversarial space" - Indeed, #WhatsApp, indeed.
Nice to see memory safety being rolled out where it matters at scale though, hopefully others will follow for an even safer experience

US authorities reportedly investigate claims that Meta can read encrypted WhatsApp messages
Now that would be some news! Suckerberg could be able to read your messages, yes: also the encrypted ones.
Many people know how I think about Suckerberg, and that I have said for years that he can probably read your mesages. The client app you have to run on your phone is closed source, so you have no idea what it really does. What guarantees you that your encryption keys aren't uploaded to Meta?
Imagine what it would mean if Suckerberg (and thus the US government) can indeed read all that communication! Like the British during WW2 once they had cracked the German Enigma-code...
Have you ever talked about an abortion via WhatsApp? Or about hiring illegal immigrants for some work? Have you ever said you're homosexual and/or trans?
If you want to be sure your communication is secure, you have to be able to trust the software you use. CLOSED SOURCE SOFTWARE CAN NOT BE TRUSTED! If you're not allowed to see what it does, you must assume it does things you don't want it to do. Don't take any chances, switch to a safe alternative!
Signal is better than WhatsApp, but if you really want to be in control, you start using Matrix!

Eine Sammelklage behauptet, #WhatsApp könne trotz Verschlüsselung Nachrichten mitlesen. Kryptografie-Experten halten die Vorwürfe allerdings für technisch unplausibel. https://winfuture.de/news,156588.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
Cuando el segundo mensaje es casi peor que el primero... 💀 Hay errores de WhatsApp que no se arreglan ni borrando el mensaje para todos. ¡La suerte es relativa! 😂 #Humor #Chistes #WhatsApp #Relaciones #HumorNegro #Parejas #MastodonHumor #Memes

What if the plaintiff and Meta are both right about the #WhatsApp spyware situation, sort of?
There's no plaintext access to messages or leaking of keys, so Meta is technically telling the truth about that.
But the whistleblower says they saw an internal application with message content.
A possible explanation is that WhatsApp deliberately introduced something like the old Debian OpenSSL vulnerability. 1/3
