US #FTC orders #Facebook not to merge the backend contacts and message history for #Instagram, Messenger, #Whatsapp. Possibly a prelude to lawsuit? https://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3084659/ftc-facebook-apps-merger [the inquirer . net]

#WhatsApp fetches websites linked in the chat from your phone and thus makes OTR/encryption totally pointless.

osund in @dfri's IRC channel made a short demonstrational video on how #WhatsApp leaks metadata (URLs are _accessed_ while composing a message even though e2e etc. is enabled and privacy is expected): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNP8PUh7J7c !security

Agreed, the #WhatsApp "issue" is not a bug, it's there by design. But a designer vulnerability is still a vulnerability. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/01/google-launches-key-transparency-while-tradeoff-whatsapp-called-backdoor !crypto

The security flaw is not in Moxie's Axolotl protocol, but in the #WhatsApp implementation. Signal software doesn't have this flaw, it doesn't automatically re-key messages and just refuse to deliver. I doubt Moxie has control over the WhatsApp implementation.

@bob i guess mire that most will go to #whatsapp or #facebook and maybe some will come to us. Most people are on such #corporate #social #network (it is no real network as !gnusocial, #diaspora and #friendica are) so people from #twitter will likely follow them.

@kzimmermann But none of those ( #Facebook, #Whatsapp, #Instagram, #Linkedin, #Microsoft) were ever #FAIF. So I don't see what difference a few acquisitions makes for the free individual.

Does this mean they will start filtering out private messages and start injecting sponsored content into #WhatsApp? -> "So we’d ask for some patience on this to do this correctly, and the game plan will be more similar to what we did in Facebook with News Feed."

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned: I am running #whatsapp in pidgin, have taught someone how to use #facetime on their #iphone #damnThoseIphoneFamilyMembers

reminding: 4.5 months ago: a Dutch student broke #encryption of #WhatsApp

transl.: a question: why recommend all #threema as replacement for #whatsapp and not #jabber #xmpp ?
-
@andrioid Agreed, getting #Facebook to use federated !XMPP is best. But why spend 19 G$ on #WhatsApp if they're not going to use it?
-
@andrioid Now that #Facebook owns #WhatsApp there's no incentive for them to use any kind of !XMPP standard at all
