I don't understand this & need some explanations (I've heard about the dev, it's just USA stuff, much like Telegram mentioned Russian). Where exactly are the backdoors/the encryption compromised?
Sorry mate. I really don't want to spend time writing exactly what I linked, and then explaining it in another way. English is not my main language, and I don't want to spend a lot of time on it. I will recommend that you read this link a couple of times, and maybe the other link posted also - they explain it very well.
No worries, it's not my main (or second) language either, it's just that no backdoor is explained in that link.
I'm just curious.
Oh, you think that they show you the actual door? They don't - ever. But read the article again. Do you think that any agency will post millions into an app, where they don't have a backdoor? The article clearly describes how the privacy part has been weakened.
