    Are chats on snapchat public? Because if not, this is just an admission of automatically scanning and evaluating all communications on the app no?

      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 literal “We’re not the ones on trial here!” Holy shit.

      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.

      Uh Snapchat already does that. Nothing about it is encrypted. And deleted messages are only deleted from your device, not snapchats servers.
