[sarcasm] Wow, Whatsapp owned by Facebook (the privacy violators) isn't secure? Colour me surprised [/sarcasm]

Shame she didn't get away with it. Another case for abolishing borders and letting people work and stay places if they want/need to. Also for the US to stop having such an effect on other countries, directly or indirectly.

I don’t think there was anything in the article indicating the privacy of WhatsApp was actually breached, they got info by reading WhatsApp messages from other people in the chat who had already been arrested and from Apple.

Oh, okay. Thanks for explaining!

Either I missed that or didn't pick up on it.
