So WhatsApp now allows setting ‘view once’ on messages you send. This will of course never be abused by bullies, unsolicited dick-pic senders, politicians or other criminals. /s

@KimSJ I can't find any indication of how to setup your account to say: "I do not wish to receive 'view once' messages" or "I only wish to receive 'view once' messages from specific people who I will allow-list"

Seems to me that's the kind of thing that legislation would have been actually useful for in terms of stopping harassment, instead of, y'know...

@kittylyst I wonder what law enforcement folk think about this ‘improvement’?
