I tried to get @Guardian to fix its WhatsApp bs "news" & do solid security advice: No go.
@TeenVogue steps up.

And yet, @WhatsApp still has not issued a statement on the backdoor allegations...
Moxie's piece says all that needs to be said.
If it's not on the @WhatsApp site, billions of users won't know about it. I find it grossly negligent.
If there was a rebuttal front-and-center on the @WhatsApp site, the women marches may not have advocated against its use.pic.twitter.com/tVF3t2ZDVA
I hear what you are saying; and it's tricky. Rebuttals also gather a lot of attention, confuse people. Bad situation.
I do wish their help pages provided better explainers; regardless of Guardian brouhaha. The help pages are really lacking.
And yet it still can be MITM by @whatsapp, thanks to the web portal at https://web.whatsapp.com . It's hard to trust them.
I disagree; but I also encourage people to not use browsers--diff game. We are talking about phones which is what most do.
I'm not changing the topic of debate. But 1) no official statement, 2) web portal backdoor, and 3) poorly worded FAQ are concerning.
That's where I am concerned about their trustworthiness. It seems they just don't care.
