      I pleaded publicly & privately. We got 70+ of world's top cryptographers to sign an open letter explaining what's what. Guardian shrugged.

      I offered to connect Guardian to top cryptographers & security experts like Moxie, Muffett and others. Offered to talk to their Ombudsman.

      But I was told the Guardian Ombudsman was on vacation, and seems misleading clickbait is ok while he hikes the Himalayas or wherever he was.

      It's not just "oh, it was a freelancer". Teen Vogue story was done by @njkobie, a freelancer. Hire her! She asked great questions, listened.

      Com security does not happen in a vacuum. User behavior; appropriate defaults; actionable warnings & warning fatigue backfire are important.

      Remote scenarios have to be assessed & reported carefully; defaults have to be set within context of user base. Otherwise it's less secure!

      Security has no single right answers; if you run around like everyone has Ed Snowden's threat model, you can make billions less secure.

      Also, there is a journalism lesson here besides Guardian's irresponsible and opportunistic dropping the ball on WhatsApp story. +

      Alarmism gets clicks. Guardian rode the wave of pageviews—despite being told the danger its story posed. Asked me to write "counterpoint".

      I refused because "on the one hand; on the other hand" pitting misleading alarmist clickbait against complex truths confuses people more.

      Journalism, if it has a point, has to take the side of complex truths and stand behind them. Why should anyone pay for alarmist clickbait?

          and here lies the fundamental issue: the economic power lies with advertisers, not consumers. Consumer interests come second.

          .@zeynep alarmist clickbait is *entertainment*. journalism should use entertainment as a tool to inform, not primary purpose

          This, by the way, is also why the infosec community is fawning over the Teen Vogue article. It's good. https://twitter.com/funnymonkey/status/837653208168198144 …
