The lawsuit cites ‘courageous whistleblowers,’ but provides no technical evidence. WhatsApp’s parent company, Meta, calls the claims ‘absurd’ and warns that it plans to countersue.

    It has been public for a long time that they have access to your contacts and metadata (who you talk to, how much, when, from where, etc.) That was bad enough. But this is the first time I’ve heard about accessing message content. Really chilling.

      The headline makes it sound like they have access to all you call, but the text make it sound like it’s just the WhatsApp calls history and contacts and that’s… obvious?

      If they actually have access to message that and it is t end-2-end encrypted at all is on a whole different level.
