A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

You were talking about security, not about privacy.
I'm not talking about privacy, if you read the first replies from this thread you will see I expose some examples how easy is to exploit WhatsApp, that's a security issue, not a privacy issue.
Remember you said: "like Telegram doesn’t encrypt most messages therefore by design is already not secure and user data is readable."
And I replied to you that no one said Telegram was unsafe, there were no exploits or any security issues, while on WhatsApp, many issues have been found.
Returning to your initial phrase:
"secures messages content from unwanted eyes" is called privacy. Stop mixing the two concepts.
