WhatsApp “end-to-end encrypted” messages aren’t that private after all
WhatsApp “end-to-end encrypted” messages aren’t that private after all
Millions of WhatsApp messages are reviewed by both AI and human moderators.
This is misinformation. It refers to the reporting message feature that can be misused, and comes down not to WhatsApp having a backdoor, but your recipient not being trustworthy.
I broke this down in my WhatsApp privacy policy dissection report last year https://lemmy.ml/post/46726
Agreed. It's essentially the same as someone showing their phone, with the conversation on screen, to a third party. Now, one can argue whether such "moderation" tools are something we want at all, as a society, legally, but as it stands it's pretty reasonable for facebook to have it implemented this way.
Reporting is a good feature, as it puts the onus of moderation on society self, and not a centralised authority. Group chats, however, can be reviewed by the WhatsApp admins. Atleast one to one chats are safe.
