Whisper tracks its users. So we tracked down its LA office. This is what happened next
Our man outside HQ of anonymous messaging app
I started saving screengrabs to my phone as the next Whisper also failed to upload…
At this point the "private" chats started coming in thick and fast to the Whisper app. "What is this about Whisper?" "How is it tracking!?!?" I start pointing people to the various articles online. "I'm pissed," says BigT when I outline the various allegations.
Third time in a row @whisper has stopped my pic from going up. Has @neetzan changed their privacy policies *again*?

I had been outside for more than an hour at this point. And no one was coming out despite the fact it's lunchtime.
When it finally became clear that Whisper had no intention of talking to a reporter face-to-face about accusations it is misrepresenting itself and its product, as well as changing its terms and conditions, I decide it's time to answer my grumbling stomach while extending one last opportunity to talk.
We're still waiting on a call, email, or tweet, Whisper. ®
