What a new lawsuit claims about WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption | Proton

A class-action lawsuit filed against WhatsApp claims that Meta employees can access users' messages, contradicting WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption claims. The lawsuit alleges that Meta staff can request access to messages through an internal system, which WhatsApp denies, calling the claims categorically false and absurd. The case raises questions about the trustworthiness of encryption assurances from closed-source platforms.
