We left a big piece news out of our first Tech & Tonic Podcast of the year. We left it out for a good reason. We left out the whole Facebook and WhatsApp terms update situation. That is because we are going into a discussion on it with a former guest of the show, Kevin Reed.

Kevin Reed is the Chief Information Security Officer in #Acronis, one of the global leaders in cybersecurity today. In short, Kevin is their security guy, the cyber security expert. Obviously, he is the perfect person to talk to when it comes to the whole situation with WhatsApp and Facebook.

Over the past month or so, Telegram and Signal has gotten over 15 million downloads as more people are porting out of WhatsApp. But is this a good idea for you? Should you start relying on alternative messaging apps like Telegram and Signal? Can you still use WhatsApp and feel safe? What risks are you putting yourselves in when you switch, or stay? All that, answered in our Tech & Tonic Podcast Special.
