Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessage::Samsung has joined Google’s campaign to force Apple to make iMessage RCS-compatible—but European regulators are more likely to get that job done.

    Signal or at least Telegram or Viber. Fuck WhatsApp, I’d like at least my messenger app to not belong to Facebook of all companies.

            For now. Facebook has said that they plan to disable end-to-end encryption in WhatsApp at some point, so that you can receive messages from people using Facebook Messenger.

              This gets even better: WA listened to Putin and did not enable channels because it is popular among 40+ and teachers.

            Any FSB agent can connect any whatsapp message to person who wrote it.

              That’s just plain wrong.

              Whatsapp is using the Signal Protocol.

              To read your messages they need to get your phone. And now even your Backups are encrypted, so they can’t read your Messages from there.

      While it’s all still E2E encrypted I don’t really care what servers it goes though. If the UK/EU manage to get encryption blocked then I’ll worry.
