SMS is unsafe anyway.
zuck can read your whatsapp messages, at this point I think I'd rather criminals and the government read them instead

Nobody gives a damn. What matters is that it works even on a potato. SMS security only became a problem due to 2FA, which is just one of many use cases, and the failure isn't even technical here but organizational. I agree it should've prompted more pressure to secure the system against SIM-swapping; alas this is too close to the Real World, so the tech industry instead responded with alternative that side-steps the…
Everybody does. That's why people use messaging apps.

> Nobody gives a damn. What matters is that it works even on a potato. It doesn't work on my computer, nor does it work on my phone when I'm traveling (different SIM), so I give a damn. WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal etc. do both. I really wish there was an open, federated standard (and no, RCS is neither), but until then, I'll use what actually works for me.

Saw this exact claim on a billboard not too long ago It's a strangely worded statement. What about data collection, metadata, other third parties Maybe it's related to the fact that plaintiffs lawyers are now trying to verify what's going on inside Meta with WhatsApp through litigation discovery: https://ia801607.us.archive.org/10/items/gov.uscourts.cand.4... Meta's motion to dismiss seemed a little weak. Time will t…
How does any of that result in Meta reading your messages?

It's called iMessage. It's possible, Telegram just doesn't care. All their differentiating features (large groups, channels, device sync) is directly enabled by the lack of encryption.
