The crime will happen no matter what tool they use. If there is no privacy on WhatsApp, they will send messages with any other software.
Encrypted messengers apps will be always available, because they are need for legal purposes.
If we follow the logic of this judge, all car and beer companies should be accountable for the drivers that kill driving drunk.
Please, tell me that I am wrong.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoI do not disagree that encryption will always exist. I'm stating that a commercial organization can be held liable and have action taken against it for running a messenger that violates the law of where it operates. People torrent, but you would not expect a commercial torrent service to last very long if the law prohibits it. The technology can exist, but an entity formed within the framework of a government's regulations (in this case, a company) cannot run it. Am I wrong?

- edpichler 10y agoI respect your opinion my friend, you are not wrong, you are on your way. Privacy is very important, millions of individuals can't loose it just because some criminals, that's is why I agree that this kind of companies shouldn't save the messages. This is my opinion. Criminals could use other kind of encrypted messages, like email, or their own code. So it's in vain every body lose his privacy because some individuals, we must fight for other ways to combat crime.
