It’s not as if they will stop using WhatsApp, they will just stop having them on government phones. Those conversations will still happen via private phones.
The Scottish government is ending the use of WhatsApp and other “non-corporate” messaging services for government business on its mobile devices.
The move comes after the UK Covid Inquiry revealed officials and ministers had deleted WhatsApp messages exchanged during the pandemic.
*A step towards transparency…or a way to hide it better…*
To be honest, it’s like using snap chat or sending mems for comunication. I don’t understand there is no law to use specific, restricted and secure protocol.
If GCHQ is full of top notch programmers, scientists and other super talented security people, why don’t they develop an end-to-end encrypted communication app, all data hosted on GCHQ secure infra, for all government officials?
I read the title and thought the government was going to remove WhatsApp from all phones in Scotland. I need more sleep
If it is for all the people living there then John Swinney wow I never knew he was that bad
Surprised they haven’t been called yellow Tories by this point. The number scandals that echo Tories especially through COVID, but then again, eloquence hides everything and baby box policy here and there.
Scottish civil service has been using WhatsApp on thier devices? Ooooof.
I work for ScotGov.
Devices are all managed remotely.
Last year, all messaging apps were removed and WhatsApp was installed.
People don’t use it out of choice. It’s the only messaging app we can use.
Just wait for it to be removed with no warning and no replacement option available.
Edit – Fun fact – they also installed TikTok.
