People claim E2E yet unless the code is actually open source your believing in faith.

Call me cynical, paranoid but I do not believe the E2E with WhatsApp truly is. It claims to be, yet now owned by the biggest data mining company in existence. How can I trust that?

And don't give me any "three ticks" bullshit. Show me source.

The source for bash was open for years (maybe even 40) before shellshock.

Remember: no matter how big the improvement, it’s not worthwhile unless it achieves absolute perfection.

I never talked about WhatsApp. There are other, working solutions that don't have the problem WhatsApp has.
