I agree with your comment, but also want to point out that binary RPC seems to have a comeback with gRPC.
I dont think this confirms that WhatsApp can ready our messages. In theory it could be implemented as a simple message forward, just as any message can be forwarded in Whatsapp.
After reading this, I think Signal is also violating this policy. I was not able to find a way to report messages or users. In comparison on WhatsApp I can report a user or group and the "most recent messages" will be forwarded to moderation.

I think it is kind of strange that even a private messenger needs to implement a report system for messages.

When I canceled my audible subscription I wasn't aware that I also would loose my remaining 7 credits...

I will not subscribe again after this experience.

The current law is not yet big in the media. I am not sure if there will be a big discussion. If public media decides to push this topic, there will be resistance. I doubt that the average German will notice that this law was passed, if there is a lack of big media covering this topic.

millionshort.com looks promising! I will give it a try. Do you know what engine they use? Google or Bing, or something completly different?
