> This is a win. To disregard everything that WhatsApp and Signal have accomplished because WhatsApp isn't open source is silly. Is it? If the next Snowden uses WhatsApp on the basis of this recommendation, and it turns out (say) the NSA has backdoored their RNG and is scanning all messages sent over WhatsApp, that person is going to find themselves jailed or maybe executed. You can't say "it's secure except for not being open source"; the stakes are too high for that. |
