End-to-end encryption does not prevent Facebook from accessing WhatsApp chats
I don't understand this argument. "Facebook control the WhatsApp code, therefore they can do whatever they want, therefore they can read your messages". I mean, yeah, by that metric, Signal could too, and every other encrypted messenger. We never relied on "Facebook can't change the code" for security, so I don't see how this post brings any new information to the table.<p>I don't even know why it goes into backup folder details and things, as if they matter. If Facebook wanted to change the code to read your chats, they wouldn't have to count on the existence of a specially named folder, they could just change the code to send the chats to them directly.
