So what? Why is it important that OpenWhisperSystems is partnered with WhatsApp? Can you trust these people?



Yeah, I trust Moxie. He's worked really hard on security for a long time. If the government came to his house and threatened to shoot him unless he sabotaged Signal and WhatsApp, I expect he would get shot.


I still can't find an official statement by WhatsApp that they are using his tech. Can you or anyone else?


Go to the OpenWhisperSystems blog. Thats the most official thing I have seen.


I know that post - that's why I wrote by WhatsApp.
