Fuck that, fuck them they belong in the digital bin. I don't want WhatsApp to be able to connect to Signal or anything else. Sounds like a gigantic security risk.
Yeah, fuuuuuck that. I use Signal for a reason.
Yeah and I'm kinda liking the "either use signal or leave me the fuck alone" part of it.
"I don't want these Signal encrypted Matrix protocol messages on my Signal encrypted Matrix protocol messaging app, it's a gigantic security risk"
WhatsApp and Signal use the same Signal developed protocol for E2EE
And yet one of them is from Facebook and the other one is not...
And more critically one is open source so you can verify that it does what they say it does and the other one does not!
Exactly.
Would be awesome if EU demanded that they made at least the message handling part open source.
It doesn't matter if some part of system is open source. What matters is that there is some nonlibre part.
Well, that's correct. Apologies.
I don't know if there's any precedence anywhere for forcing code to be open sourced, but it's a nice dream!
This is such a silly take. If you will talk to signal users, you won't interact with this tech. If you want to talk to whatsapp users, right now yo need to have the app which is much worse!
