Telegram CEO: WhatsApp end-to-end encryption is "huge consumer fraud"

According to Cointelegraph, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov called WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption a "huge consumer fraud." He pointed out that about 95% of private messages end up being stored in unencrypted backups on Apple and Google servers.<br /> Durov believes that this situation puts users 'privacy and security at risk. Although WhatsApp claims that its message transmission process uses end-to-end encryption, the actual backup mechanism fails to ensure the complete encryption of user information. The remarks drew industry attention to privacy protection measures for mainstream communication applications.
