🚨 WhatsApp rolls out a new safety feature to protect users from scams! Now, when added to unknown groups, a "safety overview" card shows group info & scam alerts. Users can exit silently or check chat later. Plus, alerts when strangers message you! Stay safe! 🔒📱 #WhatsApp #Security #ScamAlert https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/whatsapp-adds-new-security-feature-to-protect-against-scams/

ok...so we have to talk about this.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1MoYHJaKsZE&pp=0gcJCa0JAYcqIYzv
first off, encrypted messengers, like whatssapp, *require* #kyc in order for you to sign up.
that is also baught by law enforcement. ayour contence, granted, are encrypted, but sometimes metadata is even more important. as #nsa director michael haden once said: "we kill based on metadata".
should tell ya something. even if some providers, such as mint mobile in the US, don't require direct identification via a government ID, it is still kyc eitherway. and as @kkarhan once said, KYC is the elicit activity.
second, privacy and security settings? lol don't make me laugh. you don't actually know what the client is collecting when you use it. it's offen not open source, and offen still is able to gather data on you in other ways.
or it could just saay off, but actually be on.
the only way to *truely* regane privacy would be to use #selfhosted applications and open source apps.
