Elon Musk Backs Pavel Durov’s Skepticism Over WhatsApp’s Privacy Claims
Elon Musk has aligned with Telegram founder Pavel Durov in questioning the security of Meta's WhatsApp. Durov's analysis of WhatsApp's encryption revealed multiple vulnerabilities, prompting Musk to succinctly agree with a single-word reply: "True." The controversy stems from an international lawsuit accusing Meta of misleading users about the privacy of WhatsApp chats.
Meta faces mounting scrutiny as plaintiffs from various countries challenge its encryption claims in a U.S. District Court. The case highlights growing distrust in centralized messaging platforms and could accelerate adoption of decentralized alternatives in the crypto space.
