WhatsApp’s success was built on a simple technical promise — end-to-end encryption that creates a secure communication channel. Yet, the introduction of an AI chatbot that explicitly warns users against sharing sensitive information exposes a fundamental architectural contradiction that has broader implications for the tech industry.
