      I asked perhaps an obvious question: Why doesn't WhatsApp just remove misinformation?https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/coronavirus/2020/04/whatsapp-harder-forward-messages-why-not-remove-misinformation …

      They're E2E encrypted and you can't selectively decrypt messages without removing the encryption totally in its current form. This inevitably is an argument against encryption.

      Yes I get that! I'm just saying that people are torching cell towers and maybe that's more important rn?

      I mean this same thing happened in India (except it involved people being murdered) and Facebook instigated the exact same forwarding feature as a fix. I don't think anyone's re-engineering the whole of WhatsApp to remove encryption any time soon.

      Yeah I mention that in the piece explicitly! And yes, I also say in the piece that I don't think it will happen. I just think they should around this tbh

      I am past Facebook removing any kind of E2E in my mind. The insane part of this announcement to me is they clearly have more information on messages being forwarded (in terms of volume, percentiles, timings etc) that they could record and make visible. But instead this is it.

      that's good to know, I had missed that if it was written about 😣 Sounds like the kind of thing they could get away with moving outside the encrypted bundle though without damaging their encrypted messaging for all creds 😎
