whatsapp doesn’t have the best app. It doesn’t look the best, it’s not the fastest. It was just very great back in the days. But not anymore. Whatsapp could easily publish the code. It’s not the client, it’s the server. They could even publish the server code. It’s not the code itself. It’s the people using it.
I love FOSS but honestly why does this need to be FOSS?
It is an app that has access to both your microphone and the internet.
Why does it need to be proprietary?
If they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear. Just publish the code.
They may have nothing to hide but they have IP to protect to stay in business. What a ridiculous thing to say.
