News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

A comment on WhatsApp doesn't understand the web.

The web app gets approval from Snowden (http://www.bestvpnservice.com/blog/why-you-should-use-whatsa...)

Great marketing!

It's proprietary and owned by Facebook. If that doesn't scare you away, nothing will.

Um, that's not what the article says. "The encryption tech" gets his approval, as in TextSecure's technology. Snowden didn't approve Whatsapp's implementation of it, and may not even use it for this web thing.
