Me? I'd be very surprised if they can actually read encrypted messages (without pushing a malicious client update). The odds that no one at Meta would blow the whistle seem low, and a backdoor would likely be discovered by independent security researchers.

- nindalf 9mo agoI'd be surprised as well. I know people who've worked on the WhatsApp apps specifically for years. It feels highly unlikely that they wouldn't have come across this backdoor and they wouldn't have mentioned it to me. Happy to bet $100 that this lawsuit goes nowhere.

- SoftTalker 9mo agoThat was my reaction on reading the headline. Of course Meta can read them, they own the entire stack. The question would really be do they?
