Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption

A lawsuit filed in San Francisco alleges that #WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption contains backdoors allowing #Meta employees to access user messages in real-time.

According to the complaint, internal tools allow engineers to view chats by User ID without a separate decryption step, bypassing the Signal Protocol protections the app claims to use.

The lawsuit cites £whistleblowers who claim that workers can request access to specific accounts via internal tasks, gaining unlimited temporal scope to a user's history, including deleted messages. Meta has labeled these claims false and absurd.

Technical experts note that while the Signal Protocol itself is mathematically secure, the integrity of end-to-end encryption relies entirely on the security of the endpoints. Potential vulnerabilities in WhatsApp include unencrypted cloud backups, metadata collection, and the fact that the client software is closed-source.

Without the ability to audit the code or verify public keys through an independent directory, users must trust that the application is not exfiltrating plaintext data before it is encrypted for transit.

The legal action highlights the ongoing tension between corporate privacy marketing and the technical reality of centralized messaging platforms. If the allegations of an internal "widget" for message access are proven true, it would represent a fundamental breach of the encryption standards Meta has advertised since 2016.

Just started reading this after going to a talk at the barbican with @pluralistic Sarah Wynn-Williams and Chris Morris!

Only a few chapters in but so far a really good read! It is about Sarah's work at Facebook as an executive. I had the absolute pleasure to meet her!

After the cunts at Facebook sued her into silence, she is not allowed to talk about her book but it is so important that people do read it! Please consider picking up a copy.

She was fucked over by a contract that stated she couldn't say anything bad about the company she worked at, something called a "non-disparagement" clause. When I say I hate that those clauses are legal, know it comes from a place of knowing.

I am exposing Pica‘s dark secret. Many people think because she has big eyes and a small button nose she also has a “cute little mouth.” This is a lie. Pica‘s mouth goes all the way back to the corners of her head, practically to her ears and she can hinge her head open like a hamburger.

and given the chance she will!

Not only were crucial files on the Julian #Assange case destroyed, as my #FOIA revealed, but files on the #whistleblower who exposed abuses by the British army in Northern Ireland were also “lost or destroyed”, @DeclassifiedUK reports on @declassifiedUK
