*gasp* Facebook weakened WhatsApp encryption so they could open it up for businesses by selling user data and making a profit

Oh wait, no. That’s not surprising at all

@cypnk I find it quaint that Zuck talks about "taking power from centralized systems and putting it back in people's hands".

I mean. Wat.

@rysiek @cypnk He what now?

@rysiek @cypnk I'm starting to think that the NSA is a bunch of blundering amateurs compared to FB.

@willtochaos @rysiek @cypnk I heard a comment on risky.biz that shortly after the Snowden revelations someone at the NSA had said that if they could do 1/10 of what Google can do there'd be no more terrorism.

To that I'd like to add: and no more dissent.

@rysiek @cypnk No, he talks about the power of encryption to do that. The value that will always be part of WhatsApp is never allowing encryption to do that.
