Just learning about the ongoing “Lockdown Files – more than 100,000 WhatsApp messages sent between UK ministers, officials and others – showing how the Government used scare tactics to force compliance and push through lockdowns.”

Do we know who leaked them? Was it someone at Meta?

Meta cannot read WhatsApp messages. Has to be someone with access to an account or phone that had the messages.

Surely they would never change that principle given their previous commitments to user trust and after causing WhatsApp’s privacy focused founder/CEO to ragequit 😉

They could change it. They just can’t change it without everyone finding out. So for now, statement still stands, Meta can’t read WhatApp messages.
