MODERATORS
Facebook owns whatβs app and they can read any message on the service, theyβve also been known to give logs and messages to law enforcement agencies at request without warrants.
Why is it legal for them to advertise it as end-to-end encrypted then? I thought the main danger lies in WhatsApp insistence on backing up non-encrypted history to Google Drive/iCloud.
Of course, the existence of backdoors is usually not disclosed (duh), but can they actually read any message?
It's very obvious to me that GBoard sends data directly to Google circumventing all encryption.
