Or he won’t because this is an old story that already has an acquittal: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68099669
Are chats on snapchat public? Because if not, this is just an admission of automatically scanning and evaluating all communications on the app no?
Snapchat is not end-to-end encrypted, so they saw the message and notified the authorities. So yes, exactly.
“Intercepted while the plane was over England through unknown reasons” my ass lmao.
No they are not. It was intended as a private joke among friends.
It was not immediately clear how UK authorities were alerted to the message, with the judge noting “they were not the subject of evidence in this trial”.
A spokesperson for Snapchat said the social media platform would not “comment on what’s happened in this individual case”.
On its website, in a section titled “How We Work with Law Enforcement Authorities”, Snapchat says one of its goals is to “maintain a safe and fun environment where Snapchatters are free to express themselves and stay in touch with their real friends”.
It adds: "We also work to proactively escalate to law enforcement any content appearing to involve imminent threats to life, such as school shooting threats, bomb threats and missing persons cases, and respond to law enforcement’s emergency requests for disclosure of data when law enforcement is handling a case involving an imminent threat to life.
Uh Snapchat already does that. Nothing about it is encrypted. And deleted messages are only deleted from your device, not snapchats servers.
That was a big question during the trial, too
Serious question: what would these fighter planes actually do in such situation?
Guessing it gives them information on what is actually happening on the plane. If the pilots were being held against their will they could be following orders from a hijacker.
Sounds logical.
Good thing to know that private messages are fully monitored at all times
