ok but...
ok... but why are they scanning, filtering and blocking content at all in one to one instant messaging in the first place?@Ivor
To protect people from clicking on dodgy links maybe?People have been infected by viruses in the past which caused their messenger to spam everyone on their contact list with a link, which leads to them acquiring a virus if they click on it.
@BD
They are scanning for known dodgy links and it takes a criminal a minute amount of time to set up a new unknown link. so that scanning wont do any good. Am I paranoid or is the scanning a pretext for indexing what links are sent? Since the real world use of scanning will cost more then it delivers profit.Add a new comment:
