(...) I wasn't "asking" for that much, in fact, that category of 'certainty' is probably unachievable (even more, in scientific terms, it's probably a misconception). Just the difference between an open-source code more or less checked, audited and edited-in-collaboration by certain community (and with the inherent risk of being transparent if you pretend to inject anything malicious), against a closed-source code, completely and perfectly obscure, for which nobody have no kind of access, and which direction and actions are solely decided by the profit interest of some number of shareholders, specially when its profit mechanism relies specifically in the capture and collection of as much as possible user's data, etc. I'm sorry that my English is pretty poor and rustic but maybe with a little of good intention this is clear enough. > (...) someone might reasonably assume that if Moxie talks > like this about WhatsApp, then it is likely trustworthy: > > https://signal.org/blog/whatsapp/ > https://signal.org/blog/whatsapp-complete/ > > (Of course, the first one is from around the very beginning of the > Facebook days, and the second one is still five years ago.) Five years, in this matter, is an unacceptable amount of time to consider, at least in my opinion, we could be talking about a completely different code. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. > (...) The bottom line: no, I don't "know" that WhatsApp is secure, but > neither do I "know" that anything I run is. (...) To put it simply, I can't accept the idea that in terms of security or privacy "community driven open-source and corporation-profit driven closed-source software are perfectly comparable or even the same". I think such an implication is blatantly false, and to deal with it is to shore crazyland... But again, I'm always sincerely open to be corrected. Kind regards.
