Pavel Durov denounces WhatsApp encryption as a 'massive fraud'

Telegram founder Pavel Durov labeled WhatsApp's encryption as the 'greatest consumer fraud in history' in a post on X. This statement follows a lawsuit against Meta, accusing the company of secretly accessing users' messages through a backdoor. Meta has categorically denied these allegations, asserting that WhatsApp messages are indeed encrypted. Durov seizes the opportunity to promote Telegram, claiming that his service does not engage in such practices.
