      Bugger, I misunderstood the Guardian's article, @zeynep. I assumed WhatsApp could read all offline messages with temporary keys.

      The irresponsible @Guardian WhatsApp story & today have in common: failed risk communication. Data journalism failed before the election.

      We don't communicate risk properly. Terrorism is horrible, but not communicating the risk well leads people to support dangerous responses.

      Vaccines have side effects; not communicating that properly will lead to less vaccination (which is the way the Guardian piece is wrong).

      But you can also undercommunicate risk & odds. Before the election, poorly explained probability models w/ shaky assumptions misled people.

      Keeping people secure does not happen in a vacuum. Security threats come in hierarchies; @Guardian's story was ignorant and dangerous.

      .@guardian should retract at least as loudly as the way they spread misleading & dangerous advice. Publishing more "opinion" is no panacea.

      Worse, reporting every usability trade-off (which helps keeps users secure) in such alarmist terms hurts coverage of important weaknesses.

      Goal of authoritarian misinformation is to confuse & paralyze people into inaction. @guardian goes along with irresponsible WhatsApp story.
