We would like to endorse what @[email protected] writes about the inclusion of an “AI assistant” into an instant messenger that is still widely used:
It is unfortunate that many journalists do not realise how dangerous the new AI in WhatsApp really is. Der Spiegel, for example, writes in a recent article: “Meta AI does not have access to users’ private chats, however, thanks to end-to-end encryption.” As a matter of fact, the AI does have access as it is used in the context of private chats or group chats. Sadly, this misinformation lulls users into a false sense of security. 🤦

@[email protected] @[email protected] yes - and because FB has control of the client software at both ends of the E2EE conversation, there’s no way to know for sure if they ‘process’ the actual content (not just the metadata) people are transmitting. Stay away from all things ‘Meta’.
