Is Facebook reading all WhatsApp messages? Here is the story so far in 5 points

An explosive report by ProPublica, which is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative newsroom, has highlighted in a lengthy piece that Facebook has always comprised with the security or privacy of users.

For the longest time, WhatsApp has maintained that its chats are end-to-end encrypted, but the app has come under the scanner multiple times over its security lapses. WhatsApp, despite its claims about being the most secure messaging app, has been embroiled in controversies. A report has now claimed that WhatsApp is not as secure as it claims to be, its end-to-end encryption system is in fact fake. The report notes that Facebook has hired content moderators to access the personal conversations of users. However, Facebook has denied the claims once again and falsified the report. An explosive report by ProPublica, which is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative newsroom, has highlighted in a lengthy piece that Facebook has always comprised with the security or privacy of users. The report notes that contrary to WhatsApp’s claims that its messages can only be accessed by the sender and receiver because its ability to convert messages into an unreadable format is apparently false. WhatsApp has said that not even the app itself can access the conversation but the ProPublica report states otherwise.
