WhatsApp can access virtually all of it 3 billion users’ purportedly ‘private’ communications,” according to a lawsuit filed against Meta. courtlistener.com/docket/72183…
One of the most disturbing things about this is that so many governments, political parties and public bodies use Whatsapp to communicate at the highest level, including ministers, heads of government etc.
Why aren't they using something properly secure, considering the high stakes?
@FediThing OK, but WhatsApp uses Signal protocol, and if you enable e2e you should be secure. As I understand in this lawsuit there is not description of mechanism, above this that somehow Meta implemented Signal protocol in such way that they are able to break encryption. Maybe it is something like back channel to device where keys ma be requested?
