US authorities reportedly investigate claims that Meta can read encrypted WhatsApp messages
AI Summary
US authorities are reportedly investigating claims that Meta can access and read encrypted WhatsApp messages, despite the platform's end-to-end encryption promise. The investigation follows a lawsuit filed by Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, alleging Meta's ability to access user communications, based on information from unnamed whistleblowers. Meta denies the allegations, calling the lawsuit meritless and suggesting it's a tactic to support NSO Group, which lost a previous lawsuit brought by WhatsApp. Quinn Emanuel is also representing NSO Group in a separate case. Experts express skepticism about the claims, noting the difficulty of keeping such a large-scale operation secret within a company.
