WhatsApp moderators can read your messages. This is my surprised face. How Facebook Undermines Privacy Protections for Its 2 Billion WhatsApp Users.

I mean, it's a little more complex than that, someone either has to report your message, or their automated client-side image scanning service (like the one Apple is rolling out) has to report your message, but the assertion is that there are a hell of a lot of false positives on that.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
