Perusing a paper paper for once I saw this advert for WhatsApp.

No I can believe the content of your message can not be read, but by using it, your address book is theirs, your messages sent/received are logged and you will be tracked wherever you are - and whatever you are buying.

That’s what they really want.

Go #Signal - it makes sense

@Wen So the image there is about right then, they can't see half the message (the actual message content) but they can see the other half (The context: your location, your address book, who you are, who you are messaging, when you last met, which friends you have in common, linked to everything posted in your facebook account)

@pre @Wen They also can see how long it takes until you read a message from a certain sender. There are so many conclusions that can be drawn from this. And unlike the original message, it’s very easy to mass-analyse these metadata.
