Aren’t the messages sent on WhatsApp completely secure and can be read by anyone else? This question is arising because a case has been filed against Meta, the company that owns WhatsApp. It has been claimed that the company has made false claims regarding the privacy and security of WhatsApp chat service. On the other hand, Meta has denied these claims. Let us know what this whole matter is.
Meta accused of making false claims
On Friday, a group has filed a lawsuit against Meta in the District Court of San Francisco, USA. It has been claimed that Meta and WhatsApp can store, analyze and virtually access the private communications of all users. In the lawsuit, officials of both the companies have also been accused of fooling billions of WhatsApp users. The group that filed the lawsuit includes petitioners from Australia, India, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa. They allege that Meta stores user communications and its employees can access the chats.
What does Meta have to say on this?
Meta has denied the allegations against him. The company spokesperson said that all such claims that people’s WhatsApp messages are not encrypted are false. WhatsApp has been end-to-end encrypted for a decade. Let us tell you that this is not the first time that Meta has been accused of violating privacy. The company has been continuously battling such allegations related to Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. There have been many times when the company has been fined for violating rules and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also had to apologize publicly.
