Propublik Scary Report That Says WhatsApp Reading Your Chat ‘Changed’

Propublicica recently published a explosive report that claimed that Facebook damaged the privacy protection of whatsapp.
Despite ensuring users WhatsApp E2E encryption, Facebook moderators can access “User Messages, Images and Video”.
Reports by Propublica raised eyebrows globally and became headlines as soon as possible.
However, it turns out that reports by propublica are factually wrong and they themselves now recognize “the story causes unwanted confusion” and that they have “changed the language in the story.” Although it is undeniable that Facebook moderator does have the ability to check messages sent on WhatsApp, there is one important information that fails to clarify the report.
Only the messages reported by the user can be checked by the moderator – which is basically a Facebook contract worker.
This moderator does not have access to your chat.
According to reports by 9to5 Mac, Facebook moderator can only view and check “User messages, images, and video” only when the sender or receiver presses the report key to report the message to WhatsApp.
“When the message recipient uses the WhatsApp report feature, the message is effectively forwarded automatically to Facebook,” according to the report by 9to5 Mac.
It also added that “submitting a report to make encrypted messages to the new end to Facebook, which then holds the key because it is the recipient of the message in question.” Recognizing this, Propublica said, “Previous versions of this story cause unwanted confusion about the extent to which WhatsApp examines the user’s message and whether it breaks the encryption that makes the exchange remain secret.
We have changed the language in the story to clarify that the company only examines the message from Utas that has been reported by a user who might be rude.
It doesn’t damage end to end encryption.
