Zuckerberg said that they combat spam on WhatsApp not by reading your messages because since they are end to end encrypted they are obviously unable to do it but by analyzing your metadata and your behavior on the service. So I assume the same strategy can be used for ads.
Encryption is not a problem; if I'm not mistaken various security agencies in USA also bet on metadata when strong encryption is in question.
- axiosgunnar 5y agoPerhaps we consumers should demand E2EE metadata then? Would such a thing be theoretically feasible? Or not because it would be like Tor with the entire Internet controlled by the adversary?
- mrkramer 5y agoI don't know about E2EE metadata but I was referring to WhatsApp metadata in general, for example: "Alice sent 3 messages to Bob at 7:05 AM"
