Exactly. WhatsApp has everything that Telegram has and they look up to them for "inspiration".

Except for the huge red flag that WhatsApp is owned by Facebook.
WhatsApp is hooked up to the surveillance machine of Facebook. No matter how they try to spin the nonsense that they are not siamese twins are perhaps two different versions of the business, its not going to change the fact that Zuckerberg was spouting for charity. How they ferret the data out of WhatsApp is a mystery to me.

It's just not a red flag. It's a minefield.
