Does it need SO much encryption? I think they should help the police and release information based on suspicion if terrorist activities are going on. People can still stay private, but not allow terrorist actions. But then again, there will always be a way for terrorists who want to communicate securely. If not WhatsApp, then they'll find some other way. The news is making WhatsApp look like they are protecting terrorists, when they are also protecting all of us. I get both sides. I really don't know how I feel about this. I'm in the middle lol * +
