    “You cannot create a back door that only the good guys can go through,” Whittaker said, adding that it’s “mathematically impossible” and would “undermine the security of our core communications, core infrastructures.”

    We care about privacy! – signal

    You need a phone number to sign up… and you can’t even hide it from anyone you talk to… – also signal

    I’m sure the encryption and stuff is great… but there’s more to privacy and security than not seeing what is inside the messages.
