LOL! Here it is. Not obligatory, just the de facto standard. Everybody

That is your perception which has no connection to reality. Even in
Spain. Your claim is ridiculous.

I told you already that banks were fined by the billions globally
because their employees used WA for business. WA is not accepted as best
practice because of the lack of traceability and accountability.

Perhaps housewives manage their allowances and adolescents their pocket
money with WhatsApp.

EOD.

  Repeating your lies doesn't make them true. Quite the contrary.

  The banks were NOT fined because the employees used WhatsApp. They
were fined because the employees *didn't keep proper archival records*.
Clue-by-four: See the "records" bit in *your* URL.

  That's the problem with giving references, you run the risk that
people actually *read* them and, by doing so, debunk your bollocks

  But, by all means, keep digging! Sooner or later you'll come out at
the other end. Hope the swiss surface isn't too hard.

Ah, good point. I knew there would be some trick, because my bank, which 
is one of the big ones in Europe is using wasap, and they would not risk 
an illegality.

It's also not specific to whatsapp. They also using imessage and signal.
The NYT is paywalled for me. This site you can read more details.

Not disagreeing with you, but big banks are often caught doing illegal
acts.

  Jörg has been repeatedly spreading these lies and they have been
debunked many times, but he just continues. Boggles the mind.

  And - as others have mentioned and Jörg now also admits - other IM
systems - such as Signal, iMessage et al - (and any other non-certified
means of electronic communication for that matter) have the same
problems, so singleling out WhatsApp says everything about Jörg's agenda
and nothing about WhatsApp.

There is here:

https://www.edpb.europa.eu/news/news/2023/edpb-publishes-binding-decision-concerning-whatsapp_en

In Europe the same rules apply.
BTW: I work in this industry. The use of consumer messengers for 
business purposes is strictly forbidden everywhere for very serious 
reasons. Messengers and in particular WA make it impossible for the 
banks and other financial institutions to have an uninterrupted and 
accepted documentation of client communication.

You do not understand much of the regulatory requirements of modern 
business at all.

  You keep claiming that. You keep failing to provide proof of such a
prohibition and we keep giving counter examples of WhatsApp *being* used
for "business purposes".

  Nope, it's not impossible. It may be that some institutions have
chosen not to *implement* such archival of client communication, but
that's their *choice*, not a technical - or other - impossibility.

> You do not understand much of the regulatory requirements of modern

  Please choose which logical fallacy best fits your 'argument': Straw
man? Red herring? Other?

How come the UK Covid enquiry has been able to access the WA messages of
the cabinet and civil service then?

This is internal bank use of WhatsApp as well as iMessage and Signal for
business discussions. Which is against SEC regulations. 

Nothing to do with customer interactions which businesses can choose
whatever form suits their customers. In Spain, it's commonly whatsapp.
Italy also has a strong culture of whatsapp.

Given that you are communicating via SMS, would it be any worse to
communicate through an interoperability bridge without E2EE?

Come again? I would have to set that up on my end (how?), but also at
their end, right?

We're talking about the future. I expect Whatsapp will provide some kind
of API. If Signal decides to interoperate, which is a big if, then I
imagine it would be possible to send a message from signal to
<phonenumber>@whatsapp or something like that. I don't know why this
would be worse than sending an SMS, as SMS is typically received by
Google Messages, and then who knows what happens to the meta data, or
the message.

What I really doubt.
They had to break the E2EE. And it has a reason why someone is using
Signal and not WA.

For Signal and other providers like Telegram, Threema and even iMsg it
would mean instant suicide. Why should anyone use them instead of the
"original"?

In this case the authorities are undermining competition instead of
promoting it.
