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

      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.

      Journalists, if you write articles on security you need to understand that what you say can put lives at risk.

          That's what false scaremongering about privacy is like. Polio, almost eradicated, is still around because it survived in Pakistan-Peshawar.
