Bloomberg Misreports on Whatsapp Story
Unless I'm missing something, it appears Mr. Stamos (and others) are refuting the original reporting [1][2] with details from the US CLOUD act [3]. The original reporting did not mention the CLOUD act and only mentioned an upcoming "treaty" or "accord". While it's a reasonable guess that these are related, I fear the Hacker News headline prematurely burns Bloomberg with unsubstantiated opinion that currently holds no more weight than the original reporting.[1] https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-09-28/facebook-...[2] https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/police-can-access-suspect...[3] https://www.justice.gov/dag/cloudact
