I don't have any issue with Signal being effectively a free for all, that's just the price of privacy and like, if people want to talk about criminal activities they'll always find a safe way to do it.
But then when it comes to WhatsApp, they tell us it's fully private and end-to-end encrypted with no compromises (apart from a report button that sends messages from your phone to HQ) and if that's true they have no knowledge or control about shady shit being discussed.
It's like, they either are secure and therefore there's nothing stopping anything that's happening on Signal happening there or they aren't and can see your messages despite insisting they can't. They can't win at one without losing at the other, like, it'll be interesting to see their response if a high-profile crime is or isn't stopped and it comes out that things were organised via WhatsApp.

My sister has already spouted off on how the pedos and terrorists are using Signal after mom tried getting the family moved over to it.
I pointed out, well if encryption is the concern, isn't that a glowing review of the app?
She didn't like that. 💀😂 She then brought up how bad Discord is too.
