New reports suggest US authorities have investigated claims that Meta can bypass WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption to read private messages.
The allegations stem from a recent lawsuit involving whistleblowers, though Meta has dismissed the claims as categorically false. Security experts remain skeptical, noting that such a breach would be a mathematical impossibility if the protocol is truly end-to-end—but the investigation alone is raising fresh questions about big tech privacy.
