What Facebook and WhatsApp Never Told You
In 2014, Facebook billions to acquire WhatsApp. At the time, the founders promised users complete privacy and end-to-end encryption. But what really happened next… has remained buried for years—until now.
This episode uncovers the little-known details behind WhatsApp's transformation after the acquisition, the quiet changes to privacy policies, and the growing concerns from insiders, whistleblowers, and regulators.
🧠 Why did the founders walk away?
💸 What deals were made behind closed doors?
🔍 How much of your data is truly private?
This is the story Meta doesn't want you asking questions about. Packed with compelling facts, hidden timelines, and connections you’ve never heard before.

Daniel said that a routine WhatsApp message he received from another contact on Sept. 3 was later analyzed during a forensic review, where the device revealed the sender’s exact location at the time the message was sent.
"Imagine receiving a normal WhatsApp message from someone… and later discovering that the message secretly contained their exact location, even though they never shared it."
He stated that neither party shared location information intentionally, yet the message metadata reportedly contained precise coordinates.
Daniel claimed that if a smartphone undergoes forensic imaging, a third party may retrieve the sender’s location from the recipient’s device, provided location services were enabled during the conversation.
He reported that synchronized accounts and passwords, application usage histories, and detailed internal logs were recovered without any jailbreak (device root access) or software manipulation.
The claim also suggests that #WhatsApp data remained visible even long after Daniel had left those groups.
Media files stored on the phone were also said to contain detailed #metadata. Daniel said photos, videos, screenshots, and voice recordings all included precise GPS coordinates showing when and where each file was created.

Last week, our colleague @heikef participated at the 4th Ontologies4Chem Workshop in Limburg, jointly organized by @NFDI4Chem @NFDI4Cat Beilstein-Institute and PSDI. Goal of the workshop was to agree on a "canon" of recommended chemistry-related ontologies for metadata annotation of FAIR research data.

@contrapunctus @alisynthesis @NebulaTide @JohnnieMac
Anyone recommending a decentralised alternative to Signal and not including any discussion of anonymity sets, metadata leakage, and so on, is just telling me that they have absolutely zero idea of how security and privacy work.
XMPP (and I say this as someone who was involved in standardising it back in the day and wrote two client implementations) is not fit for purpose for a modern threat models. It leaks metadata like a sieve to passive adversaries.
The Fediverse is a fundamentally different problem because it's about public communication and does not aim to provide privacy. A tool for private communication is a completely different problem space.
@david_chisnall @contrapunctus @alisynthesis @NebulaTide @JohnnieMac
Anybody talking about anonymity sets, metadata leakage, and so on, without clarifying the #threatModel and actual attack scenario first, should learn about different priorities people might have, when it comes to #security (= #confidentiality, #integrity, #availability)and #digitalSovereignty.
Sure, Signal collects less #metadata than #Jabber, but it has other disadvantages, making it a #NoGo for me:

While doing a bibliometric analysis, I noticed something strange – recent papers from 🇹🇷 scholars seemed to disappear from my dataset. The reason? The country officially changed its name to #Türkiye, no longer wishing to be associated with turkey (the bird).

Names and identities matter. Respecting them is essential, and so is being careful with citation databases whose metadata is not always reliable.
