  • WhatsApp’s code is not public. The app generates the private keys. The app has to have access to the private keys to decrypt your messages. Because the code is not public, no one has any idea if meta has ad hoc on demand access to the private key, or if they upload the private key to their servers.

    If WhatsApp was open-source like signal, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Until then, and based on metas know business practices, it’s safe to assume they have access to WhatsApp private keys.







  • Powell was at the end of his appointment already, it’s a fixed term. He hadn’t been removed early. The president appoints the replacement. The investigation didn’t do accomplish anything.

    Its actual goal was probably to pressure Powell and the Board of Governors into setting rates that Trump liked. That also was not accomplished. In fact, it failed so epically that it looped back around and was preventing Trump from getting Powell’s nominated replacement approved.

    You’re right about the investigation not starting back once Powell is gone though, but because pressuring him won’t help pressure the Fed chairman because the Fed chairman will already be a Trump stooge.
