Stop promoting “just trust me bro software” in the same title.
Anti-libre software, WhatsApp, bans us from proving its E2EE claims, any claims. It bans us from forking its source code, removing backdoors. It fails to include a libre software license text file, like AGPL, so they control it, not us. WhatsApp, anti-libre software, is a scam.
Can someone explain how this is even possible with a service like Signal? I was under the impression that encrypted messages can’t be intercepted.
Extremely frustrating either way, I hate constantly having to manage different messaging services with different people and I’d really like to not have to add one more if signal becomes compromised.

It’s all client side. It even mentions infected clients.
