Sure, cause Signal and Whatsapp are obviously the only things the CIA actually ever cares about?
Yeah. There were many panicked activists around the world that got the wrong message about what the WL/CIA release said.
Media + WL (& allies) conjured easy, mass remote hacking of all—sort of super omnipotent CIA. Scares people from politics.
OTOH device security is an issue. But CIA aren't magicians reading *everything*. Hate to see vulnerable people bamboozled.
sry I guess you misunderstood my comment - There is no direct causaility between CIA 0days and Signal's encryption... 1/2
2/2 ..strength, it's a fallacy. Most tools disclosed in #vault7 are for totally different use cases, e.g. infrastructure.
3/2 You're right - the WL headline is misleading. Yet it's a fallacy to just state the opposite.
If think we're on the same page; maybe a bit of twitter length challenge.

I agree with this; have been trying to explain this to panicked activists for days.https://twitter.com/marver/status/841026365365317632 …

Doesn't mean nothing to worry about; terribly concerned abt device insecurity—issue bigger/outside CIA as ppl conceive it.
