A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Does this also happen?
Fucking woof...
Please elucidate.
Just indicating that the steps taken that you mentioned are far beyond what most people would imagine as expected behavior for encrypted messaging software. Assuming your quote was published somewhere, as being about WhatsApp. I might've misunderstood.
It's from the article I posted in my comment above. The same article I the comment above me cherry picked their comment from.
It was just a variant of "woah!", in response to what you posted. I apologize if it came off as something different.
No problem. Your other comments seemed thoughtful and educated so it didn't seem hostile once I looked.
Otherwise I'd have been a little more..unfriendly.
