The Texas Attorney General has sued Meta over allegations that the company\u2019s WhatsApp messenger, used by more than 3 billion people, doesn\u2019t provide the end-to-end encryption (E2EE) it has long claimed.<\/p>\n

Since at least 2016, Meta (then named Facebook) has said WhatsApp provides robust end-to-end encryption, meaning that messages are encrypted on a sender\u2019s device with keys that are available only to the receiver’s. By definition, E2EE means that no one else\u2014including the platform itself\u2014can read the plaintext messages.<\/p>\n

In sworn testimony before two US Senate committees in 2018, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said<\/a> Meta does \u201cnot see any of the content in WhatsApp; it is fully encrypted\u201d and that \u201cFacebook systems do not see the content of messages being transferred over WhatsApp.\u201d The engine for this E2EE is the Signal protocol, an open source code base that multiple third-party experts have said lives up to its promises.<\/p>\n
