The entire point of end-to-end encryption is assuring both (or multiple) ends of a call or chat. It can certainly be made to work technically, but only be weakening its architecture. Just because WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, don’t overlook the sheer scale of this innovation or withhold the credit it deserves for democratising high-end security.įorcing WhatsApp, Apple and Google to open up their end-to-end encryption without compromising its security is almost certainly impossible.
