This @propublica
article on WhatsApp is poorly framed, as many have noted. I’d like to highlight several constructive takeaways, because WhatsApp is a possible model for how end-to-end encrypted platforms handle content moderation and government requests.

I'm a _huge_ ProPublica supporter, and this piece has some good information on PR/TT and difficulties of moderating content at scale, but it's important to point out that abuse report mechanisms are not backdoors and don't break encryption.
