Paxton Sues Meta and WhatsApp Over Alleged False Privacy Claims
· Texas Border Business
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms Inc. and WhatsApp LLC, alleging that the companies misled consumers about the privacy protections of their messaging app. WhatsApp is promoted as a secure service with end-to-end encryption, suggesting that only the sender and recipient can access messages. However, investigations have revealed that WhatsApp employees can access user communications, contradicting the company's claims. Paxton argues that Texans deserve transparency regarding their private communications and is pursuing legal action under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act to safeguard their privacy.
