Did you see the source code of WhatsApp? Do you know somebody that saw it?

They can tell all they want, but I won't trust them until I (or someone I trust, e.g. Debian, FSF, etc.) see the code.

Also being end to end encrypted does not block whatsapp from censoring you or your friends/family! See how they "disabled" links to telegram https://orat.io/blog/as-of-today-whatsapp-is-blocking-telegr... and removed the telegram page from facebook.

It seems the end-to-end encryption was done by OpenWhisperSystems.

And so?

1. They still censorship telegram which means they can read messages locally. With new updates whatsapp could have new rules to censor or modify "dangerous" (to them) messages.

2. E2E encryption is implemented now, what about the future?

Ok, I'm not defending them. I will uninstall this damn app.
