Two questions.

My family insist on using Whatsapp for the family chats. I have to keep a copy on a device just so I can communicate with them. I do so under protest, as I was always told it isn't secure. My brother has just said

"oh Whatsapp is encrypted, it's perfectly secure".

First, is it actually as encrypted and safe as my brother claims? That would solve everything.

Second, if it isn't, where can I get some proof that we should switch to Telegram or whatever? Proof which doesn't make me look like a raving loony?

Yea yea, if even Signal Protocol cant do shit, your shit can't do anything as well. 🤣

All you guys do is talking without any solid base. Sigh.

That comment does not make sense.

If you lack knowledge , admit it.

WhatsApp is using Signal Protocol.

It is very unpleasant to communicate with you.

It is still unclear what you meant with "your shit".

Apart from that I did not argue against the signal protocol, I argued against your idiotic stance on encryption.

Maybe reading comprehension, eh?

So? We just have differing view. No more, no less.

Bring your shit elsewhere don't present it to me.

Are you able to coherently answer or is it going to stay like this? Because then I will end this conversation here.

[–] Zeroxxx@lemmy.my.id 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (4 children)

End it. I don't need to converse with you either, I merely answered OP.

Since you ended this, be quiet and don't spam me with notification.

Give it up, you sound like either a you don’t know what you’re talking about or a you’re a bootlicker for facebook.

You’re never going to win a pro Facebook argument in this community.
