Facebook says WhatsApp protects your privacy. But that’s misleading. There’s a backdoor. NEW @peterelkind, @jackgillum & @CraigSilverman:https://www.propublica.org/article/how-facebook-undermines-privacy-protections-for-its-2-billion-whatsapp-users …

Yes to reporting on the seedy underbelly of "moderation" but this framing is misleading. From what you report, WhatsApp is not breaking encryption or creating a backdoor. Recipients have access, of course, to messages *sent* to them and app allows *only* those to be reported.

You don't think there should be a way for a recipient who has been sent a message to report it? In some ways, that would be easier for WhatsApp but worse for us. To me, this is like trying to punish them for that one case where they took on an extra step they could have avoided.

This. So much this. Complete non story. E2E cant stop an intended recipient from copy pasting or even manually typing out and sending the content to anyone they like. That's all the reporting function does here...
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
