Here’s a non-paywalled link to an article published in the Washington Post a few days ago. It’s great to see this kind of thing getting some mainstream attention. Young children have not made an informed decision about whether they want their photos posted online.
At our place we only share photos of the kids with grandparents/aunts/uncles via group chat. They’re the only group that “necessarily” needs to see the kids.
Let me guess, the group chat is WhatsApp or iMessage, so Facebook or Apple gets to see them too.
And their " legitimate partners"
Not even close—it’s Skype! We aren’t able to teach a 98yo great grandma to use something else from overseas, so Microsoft gets the cake.
Well its better that posting it publicly
Whatsapp is E2E encrypted isn’t it.
But the app is closed source, so you can’t know that Facebook isn’t intercepting it at either end.
Exactly, both end points are blackboxes compromised by Facebook.
“Encrypted”
Isn’t the option to backup whatsapp data to Gdrive encrypted opt-in?
