> Switzerland’s army has banned the use of WhatsApp whilst on duty, a spokesman confirmed Thursday, in favour of a Swiss messaging service deemed more secure in terms of data protection.
Cheesy headline
Well that’s a cheesy title
> Switzerland’s army has banned the use of WhatsApp whilst on duty
Bullshit.
What the AF are prohibiting is to use WhatsApp for duty related conversations.
No more Company, Playoon, Group, Detachment groups on WhatsApp, those can only be on Threema.
Private messaging (family, friends, partners) is still allowed on whatever service.
