๐จ JUST IN: ๐ฎ๐ท Iranโs state-run IRIB claims WhatsApp is collecting user data โ including location โ and sharing it with Israeli intelligence ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ก
๐ข IRIB is urging Iranians to delete WhatsApp and Instagram, calling them a national security threat.
๐ต WhatsApp (owned by Meta) has denied the allegations, stating:
๐ Messages are end-to-end encrypted
๐ No location tracking or data sharing with any government
๐งพ Data is only shared under legal process, not with foreign intelligence
โ ๏ธ Independent experts say thereโs no credible evidence backing Iranโs claim โ but note that metadata (device info, group activity) can still be sensitive.
๐ With geopolitics heating up, privacy is back in the spotlight.
Would you still trust WhatsApp with your data? ๐ฌ๐
