WhatsApp, the app that's owned by Meta, had some privacy problems. And specifically what he said was there were about 1,500, listen to this, he claims that there were 1,500 WhatsApp engineers that had full access to private user data with no logs, no audits, and no way to know if anything was taken. Now, user data would include their messages, right? So there were 1,500 people who all they had to do was want to and they could look at all your private messages in what you thought was your super private messaging thing.

Remember what I tell you about privacy. The only protection you have is to be uninteresting. That's it. So there were, you know, presumably most of the millions of people who used WhatsApp had nobody look at their messages because there was no reason to. They're not very interesting. But if they had any reason at all to look at your messages, and let me just put you into the room. Let's say you're one of those engineers. And if this allegation is true, and I'm not sure it is, right? So I'm not going to take it at face value, but what if it is? What if it's true that there were 1,500 people who could anytime they want look into everybody's messages on WhatsApp and nobody would catch them and they knew that? What would happen when they get a divorce? What would happen when they get into a relationship that breaks up? Do you think all 1,500 of those engineers said to themselves, you know, I could just look at all of her messages back as long as I wanted to, but nah. Nah, I'm not going to do that. I'm not the kind of guy who would find out something really, really useful and have no risk whatsoever of ever getting caught. I'm not that kind of guy. Or am I?

So yeah, if these allegations are true, I would say that would be something to worry about.

Apparently there was some massive power outage in Berlin this morning. 50,000 homes without electricity. There were two high voltage masts, you know, big electrical towers that
