       Shitstorm is going on about #Google allegedly "allowing child porn" chats on #WhatsApp being returned in search results.Nobody really paid attention to the fact, that it's #Facebook who is hosting these groups in the first place. The fact that they're indexed (chats.whatsapp.com has no robots.txt) and returned in search results is merely a secondary symptom.

       @kravietz wait, so #WhatsApp the app is E2E but accessing it via web means Google crawls it anyway? Ouch.Meanwhile @signalapp with much less funding managed to create secure desktop apps for multiple platforms, no problem (and don't require you to only have one active session, or be tethered to your phone)

       @michel_slm I think WhatsApp *group* chats as opposed to personal chats were never encrypted.

       @kravietz @signalapp oh, Jane Manchun Wong - she has a fan club at work.Going to read it, thanks, but WA group messages are E2EE, similar to Signal groups. There was a privacy controversy earlier over how when a participant changes keys (new phone or someone hijacked their SIM), WA doesn't inform other participants by default, while Signal does.

       @michel_slm @signalapp Yes, doing E2EE group chats is generally quite challenging. I've seen quite a lot of discussion going on in Matrix.org community about this.
