Iranian state television has urged people to remove WhatsApp from their smart phones, alleging without specific evidence that the messaging app gathered user information to send to Israel.
The clone comment likely refers to the underlying architecture, as WhatsApp is using the signal protocol for its ‘secured’ messaging. Of the two, signal is the far superior choice for anyone not forced to live in Zucco’s World. It’s the more private option, and is secure by default unlike a lot of apps (namely, telegram).
WhatsApp (thankfully) is secure by default now according to Google, but it took them a hot minute to get to that point. That being said, you’re still giving metadata to Zucc no matter what, which is still really bad to give the guy working on military AI…
Ah. Thank you for that bit of information. I didn’t go super deep because I was mostly just curious about the clone comment and learning a little more about each platform.
