New Lawsuit Claims that Meta Can Read All the WhatsApp Users Messages

A class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. accuses Meta/WhatsApp of misleading over two billion users by claiming messages are end-to-end encrypted while allegedly storing message contents and allowing employee access; the complaint cites unnamed whistleblowers but provides no technical evidence, and WhatsApp denies the claims, citing long-standing Signal Protocol encryption and audited code, while the report notes secondary risks like unencrypted cloud backups and metadata collection.
