It seems that the battle between the FBI and Apple has made some tech companies rethink how much encryption they use in their products. I say that because The Guardian is reporting that the following is happening:
- Facebook owned WhatsApp will be expanding encryption to its voice calls and group messaging within the next few weeks.
- Snapchat is also working on a secure messaging system.
- Google is exploring how to take advantage from the the technology behind its encrypted email project.
I’m sure that people at the FBI aren’t thrilled by this at all. One wonders what the response from the FBI will be? As in, will we see these companies in court just like Apple is at present? Stay tuned!
