Well sounds like WhatsApp is not secure?

How are they gonna a get contents of a custom ROM with signal?

Pegasus?

well since majority of people won't be using signal and a custom ROM, they won't have to worry about the minority. Just hope people can see and fight back. Unfortunately, most don't care or think its a good thing for some reason.

You would think a guy doing crime would not be using SMS or iMessages lol

I agree, but if they are not well versed in the digital world, most think they are safe in SMS until their conversations gets blasted in a court case. Honestly, I would rather they stay on SMS then try to move onto signal so the government doesn't have a reason to try to go after encrypted messengers. Just wish there were stronger laws in place to prevent this but of course we can't compete with billion of lobby dollars.
