Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg is under scrutiny due to accusations that WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption is ineffective, raising concerns about user privacy.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been facing a lot of issues since the internet got flooded with tweets claiming that the end-to-end encryption on WhatsApp(don’t even get us started on the lawsuits) is just a facade and doesn’t promise any safety or privacy to the users. Now, things caught a lot more attention with the latest tweet of Telegram CEO, Pavel Durov, who shared a screenshot of Zuckerberg’s chat from the initial phase of Facebook.
In the post shared on X, Pavel Durov said, ‘The only thing that’s changed since this conversation is the scale. Today, WhatsApp’s owner is privately laughing not at 4 thousand, but at 4 billion “dumb fucks” who trust his claims (like WhatsApp’s encryption).’
And in the image, Zuckerberg said, ‘Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard. Just ask. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, and SNS.’
To which the person he was having a conversation with said, ‘What? How’d you manage that one?’
Zuckerberg responded by saying, ‘People just submitted it. I don’t know why. They “trust me” Dumb f**ks.’
What’s The Back Story?
These conversations first came out in 2010 when Business Insider leaked it, and everyone was questioning their privacy and safety on platforms like Facebook. But the conversation was considered as a joke by a college-going student because the same was from Zuckerberg’s Harvard days.
