My comment on: China's WeChat denies storing user chats

in #comment7 years ago

This would hardly be shocking news, if true. Some will say that this will only happen in China. I say it's bound to be happening all over the world, including Western democracies. Even encrypted messages are probably being saved for a time when they can be easily unencrypted. There is no such thing as trust when it comes to money or state control of its citizens.

Tencent Holdings’ WeChat, China’s most popular messenger app, on Tuesday denied storing users’ chat histories, after a top businessman was quoted in media reports as saying he believed Tencent was monitoring everyone’s account.
