The Texas Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against Meta alleging that WhatsApp does not actually provide the end-to-end encryption it has long advertised. The complaint claims Meta can and does read unencrypted WhatsApp messages, contradicting years of public statements including Mark Zuckerberg's 2018 Senate testimony. The sole factual basis cited is a Bloomberg report about a US Commerce Department investigation that was abruptly closed. Meta has called the allegations baseless and plans to fight the lawsuit. Critics have noted the complaint lacks substantial factual support.
