Shitstorm is going on about allegedly "allowing child porn" chats on being returned in search results.

Nobody really paid attention to the fact, that it's 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 the app is E2E but accessing it via web means Google crawls it anyway? Ouch.

Meanwhile @signalapp@mastodon.social 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)

@kravietz @signalapp@mastodon.social also link please?
