Why WhatsApp Will Never Be Secure
graph.orgThe world seems to be shocked by the news that WhatsApp turned any phone into spyware. Everything on your phone – including photos, emails and texts – could be accessed by attackers just because you had WhatsApp installed [1].

Clicking the link gives me the following warning:
The site ahead may contain harmful programs
Firefox blocked this page because it might try to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience (for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit).
weird, works for me in firefox with all privacy features enabled, can you please try this link: https://telegra.ph/Why-WhatsApp-Will-Never-Be-Secure-05-15
Great, thank you!
Your original link is blocked at DNS level on my ‘Threat intelligence’ blocklist.
And that link is blocked at DNS level by ‘Toxic’ and ‘Stop Forum Spam’ filters.
So it’s blocked before the browser can even connect for me.
I got the same warning for the original link with ff as well.
Your comment link didn’t throw up a red flag.
sorry for the inconvenience, thing is this website supports multiple domains and is banned in some countries so we have to use different domains to access it, which might give red flags.
