WhatsApp's privacy protections questioned after terror attack (27 March 2017) (BBC)
"Chat apps that promise to prevent your messages being accessed by strangers are under scrutiny again following last week's terror attack in London.
On Sunday, the home secretary said the intelligence services must be able to access relevant information.
Her comments followed the discovery that Khalid Masood appeared to have used WhatsApp minutes before carrying out his killings.
There are doubts about whether that action was related to the atrocity."
