WhatsApp encryption is a giant fraud: Telegram CEO Pavel Durov

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov took to X to criticise WhatsApp's encryption, calling it a "giant fraud". "The state of Texas just sued WhatsApp for lying to users about privacy because WhatsApp employees have access to 'virtually all' private messages," he wrote. Durov added, "Now we know what WhatsApp's founder meant when he said he 'sold his users' privacy'."
