WhatsApp's support chatbot was told not to point you to privacy regulators
Hidden text on WhatsApp's help pages shows what its AI helper was told to leave out, and it matters most if you're trying to leave.
How it is made
- Written with AI, from sources. A local AI model reads the week's reporting on AI and privacy (news outlets, regulators, advocacy groups) and writes each issue from the text of those articles only. The byline is Unlisted, not a person.
- Every claim links to its source. An issue with a paragraph that does not cite one of its sources is held and never published. A second AI pass checks each claim against the article it cites.
- No advice it is not qualified to give. No medical, legal or financial advice, no claims about private people, and claims about companies are attributed to whoever made them.
- No trackers. No analytics, no cookies, no ads, no affiliate links, no third-party scripts or fonts.
