The lawsuit cites ‘courageous whistleblowers,’ but provides no technical evidence. WhatsApp’s parent company, Meta, calls the claims ‘absurd’ and warns that it plans to countersue.

I don’t use WhatsApp, so…
I totally believe WhatsApp that it’s e2e encrypted. BUT my personal solution would be to just send chat, differently encrypted, back to WA, as the app obviously can read the chats anyway. So noone would actually lie about a working e2e.
Some companies are trying to redefine E2E as HTTPS… I doubt Facebook is that naive though.
They are probably doing the iMessage trick. The message is encrypted with “your keys”, but you can’t see your keys, and you can’t know if the survaliance key is added to your keys.
Yeah or that. Even simpler. Still technically not lying. But whoever uses those things: their own fault.
