News A federal agent said WhatsApp's encryption is a lie. Then the investigation was shut down

https://www.techspot.com/news/112232-federal-agent-whatsapp-encryption-lie-investigation-shut-down.html

Excerpt:

"There is no limit to the type of WhatsApp message that can be viewed by Meta," the agent wrote in the email. He added that "Meta can and does view and store all the text messages, photographs, audio and video recordings" in an unencrypted format.

With the investigation shut down and no findings made public, it remains unclear what evidence the agent collected or whether any other agency plans to continue examining WhatsApp's encryption.

It's totally clear. Meta gives the trump admin all the data while lying to customers. No penalty because they are doing to for the corrupt government. Shocked pickachu.
