Why are you still using WhatsApp?>Through much of 2025, the special agent had been looking into claims that some Meta employees and contractors could see the content of encrypted WhatsApp messages. Meta has vehemently denied those allegations.>In January, the agent sent more than a dozen officials at other agencies an email summarizing his preliminary findings. He wrote that, after 10 months of gathering documents and conducting interviews, he had concluded that Meta stores and can view WhatsApp messages. >“There is no limit to the type of WhatsApp message that can be viewed by Meta,” wrote the agent with the Office of Export Enforcement inside the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security.>The agent wrote in his email that “Meta can and does view and store all the text messages, photographs, audio and video recordings” in an unencrypted format. He wrote that since at least 2019 Meta has had a “tiered permissions system,” giving different people access to a range of WhatsApp content, and that the company has granted such access to contractors and a “significant number of foreign/overseas workers in India.”>“The misconduct of Meta and its officers, including current and former high-level executives, involve civil and criminal violations that span several federal jurisdictions,” he said.>Not long after the investigator sent the note, his agency, which oversees US export controls, closed the investigation. Two people familiar with the matter described the shutting of the investigation as abrupt, and one of them said it was done at the direction of senior agency leaders.

>>108712161Who cares? I only have the dumbest most braindead retarded conversations ever on whatsapp. Whatsapp is for sending cat pics and telling roasties what time to come over your house. If you're discussing sensitive topics with normalniggers you're doing it wrong
>>108712161>They can read what you sayAre you 10? That's the case for any existing media.

>>108712161So they have all this hearsay, but somehow it's impossible to actually just leak the findings so I can laugh at the even greater lack of evidence?It could just be some schizo in the office chasing a conspiracy theory thinking he was a super secret agent, all real in his mind.
>>108721940This bullshit is especially telling :"Two people the agent interviewed, however, described having broad access to WhatsApp messages while doing content moderation work for Meta"Content flagged for moderation by users is sent unencrypted to Meta, obviously. The fact that the allegations don't seem to admit that and specifically say they have evidence for unflagged content suggests either the guy is an idiot or being obtuse.
