We would like to endorse what @[email protected] writes about the inclusion of an “AI assistant” into an instant messenger that is still widely used:

It is unfortunate that many journalists do not realise how dangerous the new AI in WhatsApp really is. Der Spiegel, for example, writes in a recent article: “Meta AI does not have access to users' private chats, however, thanks to end-to-end encryption.” As a matter of fact, the AI does have access as it is used in the context of private chats or group chats. Sadly, this misinformation lulls users into a false sense of security. 🤦

@[email protected] Right. Which service uses only servers located in the EU? Aren't Signal servers in the US?

@[email protected] Sorry, okay.
Take makes it even more worth to mention where servers are located.
