Obviously they do. Why would you trust anyone?
>>108742699>>meta employees and contractors could access whatsapp messages despite the app's use of end-to-end encryptionlooks like someone without right clearance stumbled across a backdoor for meta and glowniggers. shut it down, boys. nothing to see here.

>>108742962>I never saw whatfag advertised as a secure encrypted platformthis is shown at the top of every chat:>Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted. Only people in this chat can read, listen to, or share them.
>>108742699Wow anon what a surprise, I totally didn't knew that meta engages in telling others who hate you on whether you talked to someone who they by their racial/ethnic/national definion hateThey just don't give your phone number to anyone to harass you digitally with wow how cool
>>108742699Anyone remotely informed knew this was the case as soon as facebook bought it. Firstly they spent way too much money for this to be a loss-leader or a brand recognition exercise. Secondly, to billion-dollar monetise something like whatsapp, you either a) analyse messages for targeted advertisement or b) sell access to US intelligence agencies so they can spy on Euros and anyone else using it or c) both.
>>108743034What the fuck are you going on about you daft cunt?
>>108743046WhatsApp publicly claim and advertise their messaging service as end to end encrypted and state that they're unable to see traffic content.
>>108742699>us bureau of industry and security shut down the investigation after initial investigation findings reportedWhy?
>>108742699No evidence presented. Please present evidence, thank you.
>>108743046>Firstly they spent way too much money for this to be a loss-leader or a brand recognition exercise.not true at all. 19billion usd is irrelevant to stop a competitor
>>108743064Those two claims can technically be true, while they are still reading your messages.End to End encryption is no use if malicious actors control one or both ends. "We can't read _traffic_ content" may well be true, but logging into your backdoor client and reading your message history wouldn't fall under that statement.
I have a hard time believing anyone is surprised that a messaging service can read messages relayed by their server using their clients. Like why would you ever in a million years ever believe it. Even if it's technically possible to do E2E you can't even verify that's what's happening, or that people are not storing keys, etc.No fucking way are all the paranoid posters actually satiated by claims like this, right?Who is actually content with these kinds of things? They seem utterly pointless.If you care about that kind of thing you'd almost certainly have to use something custom and self served, not some proprietary 3rd party.
>>108743046>as soon as facebook bought itlol.whatsapp was completely unencrypted between 2009 and 2012. they were acquired in 2014.
>>108742699You know what they say about a free service.
>jews pretend to investigate jewscute
The untruths and lies told by this company are astonishing but the general public just ignore it. They advertise the fact that not even they have access to your private messages but it's all bullshit and now the government have just decided to protect them. There are lots of government officials and ministers around the world that use this messaging app; is this the reason why the US Government didn't want this investigation to continue?
>>108742699Only real evidence quoted is an interview with moderators.>Some 90 IQ DEI hire thinks they're a super secret agent, doesn't realise user flagged messages get sent unencrypted to Meta.
>>108743106I'm not surprised anyone believes this bullshit, because I know I'm among morons. I believe ragebait all the time too.There is no commercial advantage for Meta to break the encryption. If they do it on a truly widescale and use it for advertising you can't keep it secret, a couple exec's perving on private messages makes them no money.There are however a lot of people working for government who don't have the IQ to understand how moderation works for E2EE.
>>108743579Stop capitalising green text you fucking tourist.
>>108742699>SHUT IT DOWN
>>108743618>no commercial advantage You're kidding right?
>>108743093This is what it says at the top each chat and endpoint compromise violates the claim:>Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted. Only people in this chat can read, listen to, or share them.
>>108743579Prove that Meta doesn't activate the plaintext message forwarding feature arbitrarily to spy on entire conversations at will.
And the sky is blue and the sun is yellow. It's the standard, are you really surprise?
>>108745323Sun is white retard
>>108742699>They "trust me" for some reason. Dumb fucks.

>>108745381>>108745323HAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAH
>>108744477>You're kidding right?There is only commercial advantage if they use it for advertising, at which point the amount of people both inside and outside Meta which have to be in on it explodes. To find a buyer for data they need to know it exists.So supposedly they just backdoored it at massive liability so some execs could perv on chat OR the government employee who couldn't get a real job doesn't understand how moderation works with E2EE messaging.The latter is a lot more likely especially if you read the article where the evidence is said to be an interview with moderators. Low on the totem pole fags who would not get access to a backdoor which would cost Meta 10's of billions if exposed. Moderators do have access to messages users flag for abuse though. Which happens without compromising E2EE for reasons you need room temperature IQ to understand.
>>108745038>Prove that Meta doesn't activate the plaintext message forwarding feature arbitrarily to spy on entire conversations at will.Prove Signal doesn't push compromised updates to select targets.You can never be certain. There are only economic incentives and common sense. It's common sense to assume some bureaucrat doesn't understand how the moderation process works rather than Meta backdooring Whatsapp.
Doesn't it use the same encryption as Signal or something? Should be easy to verify with a rooted phone and Wireguard.
>>108742699>trusting the jew lizard zucc with any of his products
>>108745450Not him but if the sun were yellow then the sky wouldn't be blue.Also have you never looked at the sun? - it's white unless it's very low at the horizon in which case the sunlight passes through so much atmosphere almost all blue light gets scattered and it does look yellow or red.
>>108745806The encryption is fine, the app just sends copies to the Facebook servers because that's how they make money.
>>108743618>There is no commercial advantage for Meta to break the encryption.Their entire business model is harvesting your personal data.Why would they even own WhatsApp if they didn't scrape your messages for better ad targetting?Plus Facebook never claimed your messages are private.It's a commercial app and you are the product, you pay with your data.
>>108746833They get plenty of data like all the numbers in your address book.
>>108746833>Their entire business model is harvesting your personal data.A legitimate business, not an underground crime syndicate relying on unreasonable amounts of secrecy. They need to sell their customers on advertising with them, a secret illegal data-source is not very helpful.>Why would they even own WhatsApp if they didn't scrape your messages for better ad targetting?Step 4 profit internet bullshit.>Plus Facebook never claimed your messages are private.https://faq.whatsapp.com/820124435853543
>>108747105Also, they still get your contact list and GPS and all the other bullshit social media apps collect of course. All completely legally.
>>108745770Meta already has a backdoor in WhatsApp. The moderation "feature" is remote direct access to all plaintext.>Prove signalThat's easy to prove by inspecting the application, cryptographic researchers do this routinely and it would be noticed.WhatsApp already has the backdoor as part of the standard application, so there is nothing that needs to be proven in that regard.
>>108747167>Meta already has a backdoor in WhatsApp. The moderation "feature" is remote direct access to all plaintext.They moderate reports. A report is a separate message, send from the user doing the reporting.A user is one of the Es in E2EE. So of course the user has the unencrypted message to send to Meta, no need for Meta to decrypt the original E2EE.
>>108742699>No more encryption. Give us access with a backdoor.>What the fuck? Why is there no encryption, why is there a backdoor to see every message??
>>108743007>?si=CzDDD_7BlyS2JgYG
>Meta makes spyware
why not sms?
Use metaslop, win stupid prizes.
Why does a message app need moderation? It's not a social media where everyone sees the content, it's private communication and the advertise the platform as such.
>>108743009Yeah, but anyone who believed that wasn't the brightness. It was obvious nth corporate honeypot
>>108747308Correct. It is a "feature" that compromises the endpoints directly to harvest plaintext, which is collected by Meta and intelligence agencies.
>>108742699Imagine not self hosting your own private secure messaging service in 2026. This thread is about normies and they aren't worth a damn
>>108749906Still a virgin that lives at home with your mother and her partner right? Has your mothers partner put his thumb inside you or something?
>>108749736the irony of this post. You might not be "the brightness" either.
>>108742699If WhatsApp's encryption was a lie, Meta's employees would leak that ages ago.Sounds like glowies are pushing hard to act like they control everything.
>>108742699>meta employees and contractors could access whatsapp messages despite the app's use of end-to-end encryptionfake sense of security is the worse security
>>108749775>Correct. It is a "feature" that compromises the endpoints directly to harvest plaintext, which is collected by Meta and intelligence agencies.It is a user report, not remote access. They have clear advertising about end to end encryption and user reporting, any remote activated backdoor would be fraud and open them up to liability. They have no economic incentive to do so."No one outside of the chat, not even WhatsApp, can read, listen to, or share them.""Reporting a user without blocking them won’t stop you from receiving their messages, calls, and status updates. When you report a user in an individual chat, WhatsApp receives up to five of the last messages they’ve sent to you. When you report a group, WhatsApp receives up to five of the last messages sent to you in the reported group. If a call took place in an individual chat, WhatsApp may also receive basic info about the last five calls with this user, such as who initiated the call and the duration of the call."
>>108750742>If WhatsApp's encryption was a lie, Meta's employees would leak that ages ago.It's either a grand conspiracy involving thousands of people, or 1 government employee with insufficient IQ to understand how the moderation works.
>>108750269Wow literally employing psychological guesswork like a woman in order to shame and terribly wrong

They are currently being sued for this by major parties.
