希望修复跟踪问题,但是加密:WhatsApp

WhatsApp头将卡斯卡特曾表示,他希望找到解决政府在该平台上可追溯性问题而不破坏的端到端加密。

班加罗尔:WhatsApp将卡斯卡特曾表示,他希望能找到解决政府没有打破的端到端可追溯性问题的平台加密。声明是在大刀阔斧地改革印度上个月它的规则。他在周五,我们播客记者亚历克斯•坎特罗威茨对印度的问题而做出的回应。

在过去的两年里,印度政府一直坚称WhatsApp必须公开平台上的病毒消息的来源,如果触发的原因是暴力或任何其他非法活动。虽然Facebook-owned平台一直坚持自己站在维护加密,卡斯卡特评论标志着第一次的平台是说找到一个解决方案。他没有详细说明这些可能的解决方案可能是什么样子。

希望修复跟踪问题,但是加密:WhatsApp

“我们已经在印度的法庭案件的战斗(加密)。所以,我们解释这个政府。我们解释了为什么我们的担忧,我们将站起来,并继续解释这些担忧。我们希望我们可以找到一种方法来最终解决方案,不要碰加密,”他说。可追溯性的想法,他说,在很大程度上是由于“错误担忧”。

卡斯卡特被问及他会打破加密在印度或退出市场的新规则。作为回应,他表示,该公司还找出确切的意义的新法律,但他重申WhatsApp将继续抵制破坏加密。

WhatsApp平台是端到端加密,这意味着只有聊天的人可以阅读消息。可追溯性要求第三人称(WhatsApp本身,或一个政府机构)能够阅读私人聊天。

“我们愿意做一些非常困难的呼吁保护加密。如果你在谈论打破加密,对我来说真的很难想象舒适,”卡斯卡特说。

一个WhatsApp印度发言人拒绝透露进一步的细节。政府数据显示,在印度WhatsApp拥有5.3亿用户。

消息传递平台最近面临着严厉的批评对其提出隐私变化,很大程度上引发了担忧,平台打破了加密。1月后,卡斯卡特告诉钢铁洪流,它不会打破加密。

BENGALURU<\/strong>: WhatsApp<\/a> head Will Cathcart<\/a> has said he is hoping to find solutions to address the government\u2019s traceability concerns on the platform without breaking end-to-end encryption<\/a>. The statement follows the sweeping changes in India<\/a>\u2019s IT rules last month. He was talking on a US podcast with journalist Alex Kantrowitz on Friday, and was responding to questions on India.

Over the last two years, the Indian government has been insisting that WhatsApp must disclose the source of a viral message on the platform if it triggers violence or is the cause of any other unlawful events. While the Facebook-owned platform has stuck to its stand on maintaining encryption, Cathcart\u2019s comment marks the first time the platform is talking of finding a solution. He did not elaborate on what these potential solutions could look like.

\"Hope<\/figure>
\u201cWe have court cases in India fighting on it (encryption). So, we\u2019ve explained this to the government. We\u2019ve explained why we have concerns about it, we\u2019ll stand up, and continue to explain those concerns. Our hope is that we can find a way to end up with solutions that don\u2019t touch encryption,\u201d he said. The idea of traceability, he said, largely comes due to \u201cconcerns over misinformation\u201d.
