Guardian is doubling down on bad reporting on WhatsApp. SO disappointing. The harm is real. The security community should respond.

I'd want WhatsApp to add better explanations but given what we know about how to keep users safe, their choices make sense.

I'm not having luck with a trivial google of Signal scaling problems. Do you possibly have a handy link for more detail?
