The "police trying to infiltrate it" means nothing unless they can do so successfully. We know that it's vastly easier to undermine users' privacy on WhatsApp than on SimpleX.

So where exactly is that "much more security" you're touting?



There are few stories of drug smuggling gangs being caught because they used WhatsApp.

There are many about how they were caught because the used ultra-secure "phones for criminals".


SimpleX is not a phone and its model of distribution and being open-source makes it much harder to infiltrate than these projects you're hinting at.
