Meta accused of accessing WhatsApp chats, despite making end-to-end encryption claims
A group of WhatsApp users from multiple countries has filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms Inc., alleging that the company falsely promotes end-to-end encryption while secretly storing, analysing, and accessing the content of private chats, constituting a serious breach of user privacy.
The class-action complaint, lodged in the US District Court in San Francisco, involves plaintiffs from Australia, Brazil, India, Mexico, and South Africa.
