In Britain, they reported on the US accusation against Meta due to access to messages

The US authorities are investigating claims that Meta (the company's activities are recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation) "has access to almost all private correspondence" on its WhatsApp platform (owned by Meta, whose activities are recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation). This was reported on January 31 by The Guardian newspaper.

"The American authorities are investigating allegations that Meta can read encrypted user chats on the WhatsApp messenger, which it owns," the material says.

The company itself denies the accusations. They were called false and absurd. WhatsApp positions itself as an end—to-end encryption platform, which means that messages can only be read by the sender and recipient and are not decrypted by an intermediate server.

On January 26, Telegram founder Pavel Durov pointed out many possibilities for attacking WhatsApp. He noted that the messenger is unsafe.
