If you're hoping that the TikTok ban will result in ByteDance selling the social network to stay in the US, we have some bad news.

    I’ve had basically the same conversation with my sister who lives in Albania. I just want to use something encrypted like signal but she just refuses and says it’s either WhatsApp or Facebook messenger. Cause of that I barely talk to her.

      WhatsApp is e2e encrypted. It uses the same tech as Signal.

        *allegedly

        No one knows for sure, since WhatsApp is proprietary

          So are Signal’s serverside components.

            Uh, no? I don’t know who told you this lie, but https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

            Btw it wouldn’t even matter, since the encryption happens in the client app. The server basically just passes around encrypted pieces of data between devices.
