      Not really, they use a derivate of Signals protocol. But this doesn’t stop them from making their closed source clients to forward the securely received messages to them. An idea which comes to mind would be the “link device” feature: they invoke it to link their internal client to your phone and the apps hides it from the device list.

    The lawsuit does not provide any technical details to back up the rather sensational claims.

    I don’t trust Meta and will never use their products, but this lawsuit isn’t exactly brimming with confidence. Will be curious to see what if anything comes from it.

    WHAT!!! You’re telling me that meta’s motivation for providing the world’s biggest messaging app for free is not entirely altruistic? I am shocked
