A recently published report from ProPublica revealed a mechanism for decrypting and viewing messages from WhatsApp users.
ProPublica journalists claim that 1,000 Facebook employees are paid to read users' private messages on WhatsApp in offices in Austin, Dublin, Texas and Singapore. Messages are viewed using software to disable encryption. Accenture's young operators, who have signed non-disclosure agreements, view more than 600 messages per day. They only read conversations that have been reported.
Since acquiring WhatsApp in 2014, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly said that user data is securely encrypted and is not accessible to company employees.
Now, faced with these accusations, WhatsApp has said that it has good reasons for such a system - preventing the spread of spam, terrorist content, child pornography and other illegal actions.
The company also notes that all practices outlined in this report are contained in the privacy policy provided by WhatsApp.
