GoKawiilHidden Meta chatbot instructions found exposed in WhatsApp help pages
Researchers at Redact.dev discovered about 80 WhatsApp help and FAQ pages contained hidden text meant to guide a Meta chatbot, including sections labeled 'WHAT NOT TO SAY' and directions not to give legal advice. One instruction on the account-deletion page told the bot not to recommend contacting a data protection regulator. After WIRED asked Meta about the exposure, WhatsApp removed the text and said it was due to a bug that has since been fixed.
