Telegram CEO criticizes WhatsApp end-to-end encryption as "consumer fraud," saying 95% of message backups are not encrypted

Gate News updates: On April 13, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov publicly criticized WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption mechanism, calling it a “massive consumer fraud.” Durov said that although WhatsApp claims that the message transmission process uses end-to-end encryption, about 95% of private messages ultimately get stored in unencrypted form in backups on Apple and Google servers. He believes that this backup mechanism poses a substantial risk to users’ privacy security, and that the actual encryption protection is not complete. The remarks sparked widespread concern and discussion across the industry about the effectiveness of privacy-protection measures in mainstream messaging apps.
