A critical flaw (possibly a deliberate backdoor) allows for decryption of Whatsapp messages -- UPDATED

OK, so 70% of your contacts aren’t. Your choices are 1) Don’t talk to them, 2) Use whatsapp, our 3) use email, facebook messenger, voice calls, or other communication service. Whatsapp is more secure than almost all of your options.

[quote]No. I simply don’t expect Facebook to not gather all information it can on its users and their use of the “free” services Facebook offers. If you think Facebook isn’t spying on you…

Obliviously facebook collects tons of information on users (and plenty of non-users). I don’t believe that they deliberately put vulnerabilities in and end-to-end secure communication system and exploit those vulnerabilities to collect and sell that data to third parties, and if you think they do that, you are pretty much in the same boat as people who believe in chemtrails. They don’t need to read your whatsapp messages to make a ton of money off of your data.
