I have never said that WhatsApp is secure. You seem to have completly missed the point. For people that are above avg in their security need should of course investigate and find the best tool for the job. That has always been true.

Listen to what Im saying. End to end encryption, however badly imemented, rolled out to 300 million people is a extremly big deal.

Just for the fact that it counteracts the belief that only suspect people use encryption. Also even badly implemented end to end encryption stops lazy dragnet survailance. The policy or the FBI simple do not have the ability to MITM billions of messages every day.

Remember that most texting was essentially done in cleartext before this.
