Some people are saying, “Oh, if you break up WhatsApp’s monopoly on chat, it will be less secure.”
Why is a for-profit, multi-billion dollar enterprise like Meta the arbiter for security?
If WhatsApp’s security requires centralization, take it out of Meta’s hands. Given Meta’s track record with privacy, they should be the last entity protecting WhatsApp’s security.
Either way, I don’t buy the notion that a monopoly should continue in the name of security.
WhatsApp should federate or be broken up.
