A recent Android bug affecting a limited number of WhatsApp users produced erroneous privacy indicators and notifications in the Android Privacy Dashboard.

Users can now update their WhatsApp app to address this issue.

We thank WhatsApp for their partnership and apologize for any confusion this bug may have caused users.

Everybody with a stalker or abusive SO is dying a little bit inside reading this.

Recently our security team discovered hidden malware within apps – offered outside of Google Play - from a developer called “HeyMods” that included "Hey WhatsApp" and others.

1/3 This is why "Disappearing Messages" are a great idea; but of course...

[Moxie Marlinspike @moxie]

For the folks writing about this space, my request is that when you write "encrypted messenger," it should at *minimum* mean an app where all messages are e2ee by default. Telegram and FB Messenger are built exactly the same way. Neither are "encrypted messengers."

recruiters: telling me the startup you're recruiting for is backed by peter thiel is not the draw you think it is

I'm posting this with password-embargo until Steven's @Wired article is posted; but I have a message for Frances Haugen in this screencap extract.

[Matthew Green @matthew_d_green]

A bunch of people have been telling me that it’s ok to relax end-to-end encryption to fight crime, as long as there are protections and data never leaves the company. Stuff like shows why it’s not.

[Alec Muffett @AlecMuffett]

I'll be blunt: I love @ProPublica, they have some great people, do some great reporting, they have an Onion Site even…

But this article by them is egregious, insinuating clickbait which harms the cause of end-to-end encryption, and it even admits it:

[WhatsApp @WhatsApp]

Today we’re starting to roll out a new security feature for WhatsApp Web and Desktop: face and fingerprint unlock when linking devices.

WhatsApp does not see your face or fingerprint data.

Chats for your 👀 only

AT BLOODY LAST - @WhatsApp *finally* work out that maybe it would be good to put up an FAQ about the "policy changes" which everyone has been panicking about, and so much hot air and FUD has been expended:

This is a much needed and really interesting new role for @Wikimedia. Excited to see who will step up and help us.

1) I wld never have believed before having our daughter that having a kid makes you more empathetic to children’s pain;
2) I’m _that_ over paranoid, over protective dad;
3) Tweets on the current US immigration/asylum/torment make me want to leave twitter.

Come on USA. Be better

OH (from an awesome Lyft driver): “Today has been great. I’ve been blessed by the algorithm.”

Immediately had an eerie feeling that this could become an increasingly common way to describe a day.
