- r3bl 9y agoWhatsApp was never backdoored. Even The Guardian backed down after a review of its research process: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/commentisfree/2017/jun/28/flawed-reporting-about-whatsapp https://www.theguardian.com/technology/commentisfree/2017/ju... Quote: > The most serious inaccuracy was a claim that WhatsApp had a “backdoor”, an intentional, secret way for third parties to read supposedly private messages. This claim was withdrawn within eight hours of initial publication online, but withdrawn incompletely. The story retained material predicated on the existence of a backdoor, including strongly expressed concerns about threats to freedom, betrayal of trust and benefits for governments which surveil. In effect, having dialled back the cause for alarm, the Guardian failed to dial back expressions of alarm.
