Hans van ZijstUS authorities reportedly investigate claims that Meta can read encrypted WhatsApp messages
Now that would be some news! Suckerberg could be able to read your messages, yes: also the encrypted ones.
Many people know how I think about Suckerberg, and that I have said for years that he can probably read your mesages. The client app you have to run on your phone is closed source, so you have no idea what it really does. What guarantees you that your encryption keys aren't uploaded to Meta?
Imagine what it would mean if Suckerberg (and thus the US government) can indeed read all that communication! Like the British during WW2 once they had cracked the German Enigma-code...
Have you ever talked about an abortion via WhatsApp? Or about hiring illegal immigrants for some work? Have you ever said you're homosexual and/or trans?
If you want to be sure your communication is secure, you have to be able to trust the software you use. CLOSED SOURCE SOFTWARE CAN NOT BE TRUSTED! If you're not allowed to see what it does, you must assume it does things you don't want it to do. Don't take any chances, switch to a safe alternative!
Signal is better than WhatsApp, but if you really want to be in control, you start using Matrix!
