      I've gotten very angry at many misleading news pieces recently. Yours in the Guardian was in a class of its own. @KathViner

      Seeing and fighting this for days. Futile. But predictable result of falsely calling a UX choice as "backdoor".https://twitter.com/TouitTouit/status/820740556074713088 …

      sincerely hope @SamuelGibbs will publish an amendment. I witnessed people moving to less secured platforms.

      No, that is exactly what happens. People falsely told that WhatsApp has a backdoor, so might as well use easy SMS...https://twitter.com/clovis_cormoran/status/820741621335650306 …

      @Pinboard @SamuelGibbs If someone was using WhatsApp for security I think it's unlikely they will now switch to SMS.
