New privacy policy WhatsApp make some characters leave WhatsApp and move to Telegram or Signal. Is that a sign that WhatsApp is not safe?
To detikINET, Alfons Tanujaya, cybersecurity expert from Vaksincom, explained several things. According to him, in terms of chat data security, this statement is not true. He assessed the contents of the chat on WhatsApp still fairly safe.
“But the user metadata is as valuable as the chat data itself. User metadata in the medium and long term will provide very accurate and precise information on a user of social media services and this will clearly be exploited by Facebook group and we are forced to agree, “he said when contacted detikINET, Monday (18/1/2021).
Metadata is information about some data, this data may not be very valuable, as valuable as data or in certain cases more valuable than data.
Previously, Alfons also explained that from user metadata information, WhatsApp could find out communication patterns without needing to know the content of user communication. WhatsApp can find out who is being contacted frequently, when and how intense.
It is known that many offices and figures have moved from WhatsApp. Elon Musk, The Boss of SpaceX openly often makes opinions or memes on Twitter to insinuate the security of WhatsApp. In addition, there were also several presidents from other countries who decided to move to Telegram. Call Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro as well as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who joined other officials from around the world.
“So the company officials moved to competitors not without reason and consideration,” he concluded.
