Kudos to WhatsApp for protecting user privacy🙌
User privacy is a joke here. Why on Earth you want to trace all the personal chats of the users? It’s a violation of fundamental rights of the users. Well done by WhatsApp! Read the full article: http://toi.in/Dp70hY49

Apparently whatsapp seems to project itself such a nice guy, protector of the universe.
Meanwhile, when you try to share online links of products in chats or words around it, and start seeing ads on Meta. 🥲
The only remotely possible privacy thing they may have done is having disappearing messages.
But I am still not sure about that since I have worked with Backend enough to realise what soft deletes are when it comes to data records.
You mean soft deleted msg/content is still stored? Also what is a soft delete?
Yes, basically it's a method where the record is not deleted but just a field 'deleted_at' added to the record to denote the record is deleted as per the user but the record stays in the table.
It's a publicity stunt. If you read the news articles, they're saying it's prohibitively expensive for them to do it because it'll require a lot of storage. Nowhere do they say it's to protect users' privacy. That's only given as headlines
sure they'll leave their biggest market for our privacy... sure
This is double standard of whatsapp. For US they have submitted the private key and for India they are playing this drama
Exactly! Only one allowed to read whatsapp messages is Meta
Zuckerberg is class A moron. He says he is fighting for user privacy in India, but on the other hand he has nothing to say about this: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-votes-renew-fisa-spying-tool-earlier-republican-revolt-rcna147557
Seems like double standards to me
