Signal was never compromised during any part of the “Signalgate” saga.
They added a journalist to a group they shouldn’t have and they used a clone app that copied all messages to an insecure database. Both are just as much of a risk with WhatsApp.
As for the one that thinks all messengers are CIA psyops, there’s no convincing someone that paranoid.
Maybe an argument around why congress would need to use a clone app that intentionally compromises security if they already have access to it.
@NYFlatline’s response isn’t a bad start. Meta paid billions for WhatsApp after all. It’s not like they didn’t recoup that cost by selling personal information to anyone willing to pay for it.
But honestly leaving WhatsApp is a struggle. Especially with elderly family. And not everyone is willing to run two messengers.
At some point just not using it anymore is the only way forward.
