π€‘ End-to-endβ¦ or not?
Pavel Durov called WhatsApp encryption βthe biggest consumer fraud in history,β saying it misleads billions of users.
π The Telegram founderβs statement follows a class-action lawsuit against Meta filed in the U.S.
π According to the complaint, Meta employees, Accenture staff, and possibly other third parties may have accessed messages through a backdoor in WhatsAppβs source code.
π Plaintiffs claim the backdoor allowed staff to βcircumvent the encryption in order to view usersβ private messages.β
π While the access was reportedly used to review flagged messages, the lawsuit alleges employees had βbroad access to usersβ messages,β including conversations unrelated to complaints.
