Two days ago, Telegram founder Pavel Durov again criticized the Facebook-owned WhatsApp messenger ,saying that “…WhatsApp uses the words “end-to-end encryption” as some magic incantation that alone is supposed to automatically make all communications secure . However, this technology is not a silver bullet that can guarantee you absolute privacy by itself.”
Durov recalled that last year he wrote about a vulnerability discovered in the messenger, which allows hackers to access any data on the phone. At the same time, Facebook then assured that there is no evidence that the attackers used this vulnerability.
In contrast to Facebook’s policy, Twitter has banned all political ads on its platform.
