⚡️🚨 ICYMI - Meta whistleblowers say WhatsApp private messages can be accessed by the company despite assurances of end-to-end encryption. A lawsuit filed in U.S. court alleges Meta misled billions of users worldwide into believing their chats were fully private.
Meta denies the allegations, calling them false and absurd, and states that WhatsApp uses the Signal protocol for true end-to-end encryption, meaning only senders and recipients can read messages.
