Meta Platforms Inc. expresses strong disagreement after WhatsApp is banned on U.S. House of Representatives devices due to security concerns.
The House's CAO cites WhatsApp's perceived security risks as the reason for the ban and suggests alternative messaging platforms.
Meta claims that WhatsApp offers end-to-end encryption for messages, disputing the security concerns raised by the House.
The ban on WhatsApp adds to Meta's ongoing disputes with the government, including antitrust allegations related to its acquisitions.
Mark Zuckerberg's relationship with President Donald Trump appears to have improved, with Meta executives taking on new roles in the government sector.
