      Use WhatsApp or Signal on your iOs device, with keyboard if you want, not on desktop. Desktop is too big an attack surface. Hard to secure.

      Remember, systems are as weak as weakest point. Encryption is a strong lock. Browser is house with windows left open. Lock can't undo this.

      Also, tech journalists? An (already) fixed html5 attack on browser versions should be reported as.. don't use browsers versions.

      Software has bugs; inevitable. Not every bug and exploit has the same impact for surveillance, and browser and app should be differentiated.

      If you or your work is security sensitive, use Signal and WhatsApp on your phone. Do not use desktop versions.https://twitter.com/GadflyBee/status/842055791083458562 …

      Those apps protect the msg content via encryption ... but what about the social info -- who is talking/texting whom? Protected too?

      Meta data not visible in Signal? Cool. What about email apps... such as ProtonMail?

      Signal says they do not log it at all; not sure if it is true zero knowledge but they do shield knowledge from themselves.

      Signal, like Apple, says: we could not provide that data if someone asked for it. But can someone monitor your phone in other ways?

      Not ordinarily but is it hacked? Are you targeted? Is it Android? Very easy to hack. iOs? Much harder but what do you do?

          No, thinking of whistleblowers... i.e. Person works @ X on secret projects and all of a sudden a list of calls/texts to NYT.

          content may not be that important, but new pattern of calls/texts different from usual pattern... what's s/he up to?

          Whistleblowers and high target people are whole different category. No way to summarize quick advice; no perfect tech solution.
