Not everyone wants to sell user data. Their business is in private communication. WhatsApp reads through all your shit, whether you like it or not.

- sfifs 6y agoNope. WhatsApp can only potentially read your group messages since 1:1 messages are end to end encrypted. You shouldn't spread FUD
- tubularhells 6y agoThis was in the news some months ago, they have backdoors for 1:1s that they use to comply with government agency and police data requests. Do go look it up.
- EMM_386 6y agoThis is untrue. https://signal.org/blog/there-is-no-whatsapp-backdoor/ https://signal.org/blog/there-is-no-whatsapp-backdoor/
- Aachen 6y agoThis has not been found, that would be major news on mainstream channels. (Do go and cite sources.) If you need some obscure news source for this, it's very unlikely to be true and unless you or a trusted friend of yours has reasonable expertise in the relevant field (reverse engineering or cryptography might be relevant, perhaps both depending on the type of backdoor) you can't rely on some controversial source being correct.
- tpush 6y agoGroup messages are also end-to-end encrypted.
- alfongj 6y agoWhatsApp group chats are end to end encrypted too. You must be thinking of... Telegram, where only secret 1:1 chats are end to end encrypted
