Ubasanzwe WhatsApp, kimwe na Facebook, Instgram na Tiktop, iri mu mbuga nkoranyambaga za MetaAI. Muri uru rubanza rero, haravugwa ko Meta yishe icyizere cy’uko “ubutumwa bohererezanya ari ibanga ryuzuye,” kuko bamwe mu bakoresha WhatsApp baje kwisanga bashyizwe ku karubanda.

Nubwo WhatsApp ikoresha Signal Protocol mu gucunga ubutumwa—bukaba bwafungwa ku gikoresho cyo kohereza kugeza ku cyo kireberwaho, uru rubanza rwahishuye ko ikibazo gikomeye mu makuru ya Meta cyangwa “Metadata’ arimo amakuru y’abantu uganira na bo, amagurupe uriho, igihe ubutumwa bwoherejwe, amakuru y’igikoresho n’aho uherereye, bakavuga ko ayo makuru yose ashobora gusesengurwa cyangwa gukoreshwa mu bucuruzi.

Umuherwe Elon Mush, nyiri X yahoze ari Twiiter we yagize ati “WhatsApp ntabwo ntamutekano wizewe ifite. N’iyo Signal irashidikanywaho. Koresha𝕏X Chat.”

Cyakora, abahanga mu by’umutekano w’amakuru, barimo n’uwitwa Paul ukoresha skylineReport kuri X, bahise basubiza.

Abakoresha uru rubuga ariko banagaragaje imipaka ya encryption ku rwego rw’ibikoresho.

Nk’uwitwa ARose (@ARose2023)yagize ati “Signal ikora neza gusa ku guhamagara no ku mashusho ya video… numero ya telefoni yawe n’iyo uhamagaye barayibika, ariko amajwi n’amashusho biracyarindwa.”

Uru rubanza n’impaka bikaba birimo kuvuga ku kintu cy’ingenzi ku burenganzira n’umutekano w’amakuru y’abakoresha imbuga nkoranyambaga.
