Gee, seeing how they defended Whatsapp tooth and nail time and time again, I'm inclined to not be surprised if it was added _during_.
- ziml77 5y agoWhether or not they're siphoning information some other way is not the point here. The accusations here are directed at how reporting content sends the decrypted messages to Facebook. The ridiculousness is that people are treating that reporting functionality as a secret data leakage channel. If you think that they have backdoor access to messages, please investigate that, submit your findings as a different HN post, and then we can discuss it.
