Well, except none of my contacts use Whatsapp. You have an unexamined assumption there. Folks I know, if they are going to install a secure messaging app, aren’t going to install one owned by Facebook. With this new news, they’re even less likely to do so.
So people who don’t trust Facebook and think they are in the business of spying on their users for profit are the same as chemtrails nutcases?
What has “need” to do with it? If they can, they will, sooner or later. It is their business model. Why give them the opportunity at all? Encourage your friends to use a real app and service, not spyware.
Have a nice life.
