    You would have to be a complete lib dummy not to “target” whatsapp.

    • WhatsApp security questioned as Israel remains the only known actor to “hack” it
    • Israel’s attempt to sway WhatsApp case casts doubt on its ability to deal with NSO spyware cases
    • This Undisclosed WhatsApp Vulnerability Lets Governments See Who You Message
    • Messaging apps as covert weapons: Was WhatsApp used in Israeli strikes on Iran?

    And likewise you would have to be a complete tankie dummy to trust some putin app.

    Yet another example of libs and tankies being the same thing with different imperial branding.
