Iranian state media on Tuesday afternoon called on the people of Iran to uninstall WhatsApp from their cellphones, claiming that the software collected user data and sent it to Israel without providing any concrete proof.
WhatsApp stated that it was “alarmed that these untrue reports will be used as a justification to block our services when people most need them.” Because WhatsApp employs end-to-end encryption, a service provider cannot read a message.
We don’t keep track of who is texting you, we don’t monitor your exact location, and we don’t keep track of the private messages that users are sending to each other,” the statement said. No government receives bulk information from us.
Encrypted end-to-end communications are jumbled, and only the sender and receiver may see them. Anyone else who intercepts the communication will only see a jumble that requires the key to decipher.
Facebook and Instagram’s parent company, Meta Platforms, is the owner of WhatsApp. Although Iran has long prohibited access to a number of social networking sites, many Iranians still use virtual private networks, or VPNs, and proxies to get around the country’s restrictions.
