    faacebook different, as these idiots apparently need to fear THEMSELF! LOL, posting up each and everything about themself, for the world to see (then when they adjust the privacy and facebook 'UPDATES' they are back to square one and dont even know it)


    lol, thats alot different than whatsapp privacy but THANKFULLY with the latest android whatsapp you can turn off the pic the stat and last seen for groups ie i can not let anyone who i dont have in contacts see JACK ABOUT ME! which is good (but can be bad seeing people from 2001 see my pic and know im still young looking and link up. lmao)

    40 and 56 bit encryption which they continue to use as well as ignoring industry best practices.

    Can you please justify these claims, with recent data?

    And all this talk about encryption... are your text messages and phone calls encrypted? lmao... are you dating a hacker or a stalker or mad combination of the two? stop it... your killing me! Most of us wont even care about the purpose of encryption. what kinda data are you securing on your phone and in your message. Nuclear launch codes and a secure credit card databse?

    BTW: All your apps are uploading your life as we speak. The play store gives your personal information to the developers of each app you download... SMH. Don't worry about TSL encryption on your IM alone if that's the case.

    I guess you completely missed my point - however, if you used Google you would have found a number of articles on the issue of Whatsapp, its encryption, flaws and exploits.

    I didn't say anything about me worrying about encryption - anything sensitive i need to transmit is done through more secure means not whatsapp. Then again is there anything wrong with a person wanting a better security?

    Actually nuclear launch codes yes - the US had its launch codes set to 0000000 for over 20 years or so I am pretty sure i sent those to ppl a number of times.

    And just to ensure you get the point I was making - I was simply stating based on what both clients seem to offer as well as reviews of the applications Telegram does a better job of encrypting a persons data.

    As for most of the rest of your rambling not sure how that came about... but anyways - I know Google does send your personal information (mainly Address, Name and Billing details) which I don't mind cuz my gmail stuff is from a previous address + a virtual credit card #.
