What?
>WhatsApp communication is considered public in court and is credibly being monitored
I think, unless I misunderstood. Is that those records are not stored on Meta's server but could be subjected to usage in court with minimal work. Cant you have disappearing message so they self delete ?
I am also unaware of they could see my Whatsapp messages without getting me to unblock my phone as the content of the message are encrypted. But they do have some metadata. So on a threat level that depends on people's risk appetite.
I know people in US loathe Meta but generally speaking I think Whatsapp is pretty damn good.
- lwo32k 2y agoPeople loathe Meta cause if they don't hit their quarterly targets for Wall St what happens? - They will sell more of your data, push more ads down your throat, charge businesses more for reach and visibility, and blame anyone who complains for not acting like more like the poster children of the Attention Economy ie Trump and Elon. Content explodes but Attention available doesn't grow therefore Meta can't grow forever. Therefore all the above tactics are the only way for that mentally bankrupt organization to survive.
