Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption, https://uk.pcmag.com/security/162799/lawsuit-alleges-that-whatsapp-has-no-end-to-end-encryption.

I don’t know if this is true but the quote from Telegram’s CEO Pavel Durov is **hilarious**:

> You’d have to be braindead to believe WhatsApp is secure in 2026. When we analyzed how WhatsApp implemented its 'encryption,' we found multiple attack vectors.

Telegram IS NEVER ENCRYPTED. Please read _Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot_, https://rys.io/en/179.html.

Hypocritical and liar.

If you are using Social Media to oppose the tRump fash regime, great.

If you are posting anything decrying the regime's attack on democracy on #bluesky #linkedin #facebook #threads #substack #instagram #whatsapp #xitter then you are just seeking clout or numbers for a monetized platform.

Stop giving fashy techbros money and support. Every post, every click on their platforms is money in their pockets, that they WILL use to destroy democracy.

@evacide
Someone clarify me please 🤔

If e2ee happens from client to client, means a closed proprietary app like WhatsApp can use the decrypted messages at the client level & do can steal it even though the connection is marketed as e2ee

Am I right, or I'm missing out something?

Coz I see the option to send last 5 messages to meta when I report a spam and block the number.

So the e2ee is useless if the client is closed source right? 🤔

I know you're the wrong audience for this meme, dear followers, but try replacing the search engine #Google with #WhatsApp, #iPhone, #Android, #Windows, #YouTube, #Spotify, #chatGPT or #Gemini — are you still laughing at the #people who use Google every day?

$[x2 Indian government decrees that WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, etc. must ensure continuous SIM binding with services]

• Indian government has classified each of WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Arattai, Snapchat, ShareChat, JioChat, and Josh as a Telecommunication Identifier User Entity (TIUE)

• TIUEs must fulfill a range of cybersecurity obligations

• TIUEs must ensure that SIM cards remain continuously linked to their services, they must make it impossible for their users to use services without a SIM

• For website or web-app-based access, TIUEs must ensure users are logged out periodically (not later than 6 hours) and must offer an option to relink accounts through a QR-code-based method

The crazy thing about that #WhatsApp leak is not merely the sheer scale of the issue...

...it's the fact that a security researcher named Loran Kloeze has found out and reported this #security flaw to #Facebook _eight years ago_ (2018) and Facebook has done... nothing!

Also, the only news site that I could find talking about Loran Kloeze is 9to5mac - kudos to them! 🎩

What the actual f...k? How does a multibillion dollar company like #Meta not mitigate against this kind of historic data leak???

@aram So that makes #WhatsApp's "end-to-end encryption" quite leaky doesn't it?

What a timing: while I'm sitting at a #CloudAbolition workshop, #AWS takes down major centralised services like #Signal, #WhatsApp and #Teams.

People continue happily texting me on @matrix though 💚

New: #DeAppleification project 🍏

Good hardware, if overpriced ✔️

Bad software & services, deliberately lacking #interoperability ❌

Today, I shut off Apple's closed #iMessage service entirely. Now using #Beeper as a universal inbox, with #Signal, #WhatsApp & #Slack DMs ✅

Goal: shutting off all 🍏 services will make it much easier to switch to cheaper hardware in future. Which is why Apple’s entire business model depends on tying their hardware to their software & services
