The WhatsApp client is a closed source, so why is this news ? Is this some kind of promise from the company that the client will not have access to private keys

- eloff 6y agoWhatsApp promises end to end encryption, with no access to the content of your messages, just like iMessage and signal. This tweet doesn't establish otherwise.
- parliament32 6y agoThe app can still provide end-to-end encryption while simultaneously piping your private keys direct to FB. They're not really related.
- eloff 6y agoOf course it's related. To do that undermines the entire point of end to end encryption. It's a strong allegation with no evidence to support it. It would also completely invalidate their "we don't have the keys" defence to law enforcement requests.
