Never heard of it. Perhaps not in the entire europe?
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoCan't speak for the entire Europe obviously, usage varies from country to country, but where I've been it's pretty well entrenched for bot social and business.
- denton-scratch 3y agoWhatsApp is widely used by UK ministers to communicate with potential donors, lobbyists and other politicians. I don't know why it's allowed; in-person meetings are supposed to have a civil servant present and taking notes. WhatsApp gets them off the FOI hook.
- brox 3y agoCase in point: The ongoing Covid-19 inquiry request for access to government WhatsApp messages: https://www.ft.com/content/208263bf-b6bb-4ea6-8e6b-ee2e522ac786 https://www.ft.com/content/208263bf-b6bb-4ea6-8e6b-ee2e522ac...
- developer93 3y agoI thought it doesn't, the law just doesn't seem to be enforced properly?
- caycep 3y agois it feasible to have a reg where WhatsApp is allowed, as long as a copy of the transcript post-decryption goes to the national archives or whatnot?
- KomoD 3y agoYeah, not entirely.
- stefncb 3y agoI've lived in both eastern and western Europe and it's used a lot almost everywhere. As far as I can tell, the more Russian-influenced countries tend to use other services. It's still crazy to me how people use Viber en masse in a lot of those places. The UX is abysmal and it's full of manipulative ads. Habits are hard to change.
- phito 3y agoDefinitely not everywhere. It's not widely used in my country.
- rospaya 3y ago> Never heard of it. Perhaps not in the entire europe? Never heard of Whatsapp? Try removing the comments where you talk about it then.
- bombolo 3y agoI'm sorry you can't understand text.
