Oh how many times I’ve been told that’s I’m paranoid and WhatsApp messages are encrypted and totally secure from Facebook reading them over the last… more than decade.
Even that guy told us this: https://signal.org/blog/there-is-no-whatsapp-backdoor/
TBF, that might've been true in 2017. But nearly a decade has passed since, and that's basically two lifetimes in software...
Damn, they did! I trust Signal’s software, but I have never believed for a second that every piece of Facebook’s software isn’t hoovering up all of the information they possibly can, even before LLMs…
Meta is all about metadata and what’s the best type of metadata? The metadata generated from private conversations. Them to use Signal or something else where they don’t have a humongous ad business or an AI dream to fill.
How else would server-side AI summaries work? Don't need insider knowledge here, just a bit of common sense.
Meta's business model is collecting, using and selling data from users of "free" services. Obviously they didn't buy WhatsApp for charity.
Meta has been caught lying before. Even if there's no backdoor right now, the next closed-source update can add one and take all message history. Would you trust Zuck?
So I wonder what they’re doing. They have access to the plain text because it has to use their encryption so maybe they encrypt it with their key on device then send to their servers where they decrypt and use your plain text nefariously and also encrypt with YOUR key and send the message to the recipient.
