In short, wikileak mentioned that CIA can look every move if they intend to find your information.
WikiLeaks on Tuesday said it had obtained a secret trove of hacking tools used by the CIA to break into or circumvent the security of phones, communication apps and other devices, and published confidential documents describing those programs.

Among the most noteworthy WikiLeaks claims are that the Central Intelligence Agency, in partnership with other U.S. and foreign agencies, has been able to bypass the encryption on popular messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal, by hacking phones that use Google Incs Android platform to collect audio and message traffic before encryption is applied.

Reuters could not immediately verify the contents of the published documents, but several contractors and private cyber security experts said the materials, dated between 2013 and 2016, appeared to be legitimate.

But relax,

It is illegal for CIA to do those stuff right? and apple company says it fixed the bug.
Anyway, as one who don't do evil stuff will not become a target for CIA.

It very hard to chose between 2 things in our lives, privacy and security.
It seems today, with so much terrorist attacks everywhere, that we need more security and less privacy.
If we wants more privacy it usually means less security because security service can't monitor all communication channels and find potential threats to our society.
Before 2001 we didn't have such dilemma and we was pride about our privacy and freedom.
Unfortunately, now we have to give up from our privacy in order to be safe.
Regarding this news, only important question is not if CIA can watch our every move (I'm sure they can do even more!), through popular messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal etc . but if they had legal permission for such action.

The problem is that in order to get official permission to listen to need to have evidence linking this man to terrorism, and how to do it? Easier to listen to all and choose from all the terrorists. I don't mind.

For the sake of security, you can build your ambitions and share your privacy. But this is only if no one abuses these opportunities and does not violate the right to privacy.

Yes, I agree with you.
Many times in the past, our human rights was abused by authorities, so sometimes is hard to trust government or agencies again.
I think that independent, civil control is essential.
For the sake of our security we may give up freedom but we can't tolerate abuse of such collected info, and their illegal use.
It's sad that we live in such time when terrorist groups wants to destroy our way of life but we have no choice but to fight for what we believe in; freedom and democracy.
