So, no evidence. Gotcha.
For WhatsApp, given how much noise the UK law enforcement has been making about trying to ban encryption, I'm inclined to believe it actually is working. I'm sure Facebook does some metadata analysis and that does feed back into their advertising profiles, but that's a different thing from being able to turn over actual message content that's supposedly been encrypted over to law enforcement.
But hey, if you do find actual evidence, I'm all ears.
I’m not the person you responded to, so I made no claims that need any evidence.
I just love shitting on fucking rubbish Facebook and will do so online at any point possible.
Fuck yo evidence and fuck yo Facebook
Most people don't so openly state that they don't care about facts or evidence and form their beliefs primarily from vibes, so thanks for at least being upfront about it.
The evidence we have is the historic behaviour of Facefuck and Zuckerfuck.
Fuck anything connected to this asshole.
They could easily scan your messages via the app before encrypting.
Being closed source we have no way to examine this.
But yea, keep on trusting an org that has repeatedly demonstrated they're untrustworthy.
In case you were unaware, you come off as a literal child. Cheers.
