Comment on WhatsApp Ordered to Help US Agents Spy on Chinese Phones–No Explanation Required

Comments

The U.S. doesn't need to know who they're targeting or show probable cause when ordering Facebook, WhatsApp or any tech company to help agencies spy on users in secret, newly-unsealed court documents show.
U.S. federal agencies have been using a 35-year-old American surveillance law to secretly track WhatsApp users with no explanation as to why and without knowing who they are targeting.

Doesn't include actual message content. Still very bad.
