WhatsApp criticised for plan to let messages disappear after 24 hours | World news | The Guardian
“WhatsApp users are to be given the option to have their messages disappear after 24 hours, a change that drew immediate criticism from children’s charities.
In a blog post announcing the change, WhatsApp, which has 2 billion users, said its mission was to “connect the world privately”.”
“Activists swiftly warned that the policy as it was published would backfire. The policy was vague and had been put together without much input from the communities most vulnerable to harassment and doxxing, the activists argued. They had little faith in Twitter’s reporting and appeals process, which they described as unreliable, automated and allowing for little discussion about the enforcement of policies.”
