Yes, I did know that. The difference is WhatsApp is selling encrypted-onboard privacy. Which is now, prima facie, a lie.

Facebook has literally told courts they can't decrypt WhatApp traffic. I wonder if that court case in Brazil is still pending.

By comparison, no one ever said "There's no way Google could read my search terms".

A more accurate comparison would be regarding Allo.
