      Yeah…I always thought it was a little bit out of character for Meta to implement true end-to-end encryption just like that. Turns out my gut-feeling was right.

      No, the post name is false and misleading. The lawsuit doesn’t allege that there’s no end-to-end encryption. It alleges that in spite of any encryption used, FB has a full and unfettered access to the messages that the user sends.

      This can be accomplished, for example, by sending two messages every time: one e2e encrypted to intended recipients, and another one, e2e encrypted with a different key, to Facebook, which FB is able to easily access.

      There have been several court cases where Meta has provided WhatApp as evidence to authorities. If I was planning something sketchy I would not use it.

      Who the fuck thought a Zuckverse thing had the slightest bit of ethics?

      You’d have to be monumentally dumb to believe that. Like a real fucking idiot.

      The real shame is how many people use WhatsApp and don’t care either way.

      I get ads for things I only have wrote to friends on WhatsApp, maybe is the keyboard or maybe is WhatsApp but is really weird to get random ads

      This is software development 101. We all can view messages and login as-user, often in production as well

      I thought this was a known thing since FB bought it. It was in the new terms and conditions, and people were talking about it back then. It’s why I deleted it immediately.

      Whatsapp has never been safe from spying. Facebook almost died when Apple turned off tracking. And if they ever really tried the government would slap them with an anti trust lawsuit.

      The company that earns money by collecting your data and selling that to ad companies is collecting your data? No shot guys.
