Yeah. When I moved to Europe, everyone used WhatsApp. Its impossible to get around without it. I'm leaving now and it will be deleted faster than you can say fascism.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It came out that every single key and convo is available on WhatsApp's servers, and they do access it internally. We ofc already suspected it, but now it's confirmed.
It's also a US company, which I think answers everything without needing more explanation.
To those who still doesnt know, look at US Cloud Act.
Europeans are leaving WhatsApp by the dozens!
The video is talking about governments and EU institutions, not general users.
