The US House of Representatives has warned staff members not to use Meta’s messaging platform WhatsApp due to privacy concerns. The warning marks a blow to WhatsApp, whose $1.8tn parent Meta has long battled concerns that it has been lax with user data in its hunt for commercial growth and advertising revenue. The House’s Chief Administrative Officer told staffers on Monday that WhatsApp had been deemed “a high-risk to users”, according to a copy of the memo seen by the Financial Times. The email ordered staff not to download or keep the messaging service on any House laptop or mobile device from June 30, adding that anyone who had the application would be asked to remove it. The decision was taken due to “a lack of transparency in how [WhatsApp] protects user data, absence of stored data encryption, and potential security risks involved with its use”, read the memo, which was first reported by Axios. A spokesperson for Meta said the company disagreed with the characterization “in the strongest possible terms”. The person added that WhatsApp messages were “end-to-end encrypted by default”, meaning that neither the company nor third parties could read them, adding that the platform offered “a higher level of security than most of the apps on the CAO’s approved list”. Approved products in the US House of Representatives include Microsoft Teams, Signal, Apple’s iMessage and FaceTime, and Amazon-owned messaging service Wickr. Meta said WhatsApp, which has about 3bn users globally, is approved for official use in the Senate. “Protecting the people’s House is our topmost priority, and we are always monitoring and analysing for potential cyber security risks that could endanger the data of House members and staff,” House chief administrative officer Catherine Szpindor said in a statement. “We routinely review the list of House-authorised apps and will amend the list as deemed appropriate.” Meta bought WhatsApp in 2014 for $19bn but co-founder Brian Acton left the company in 2017 following disagreements over user privacy and a lack of independence from the parent company. Acton later co-founded rival Signal, which was at the centre of a furore in March after US officials, including vice-president JD Vance and defence secretary Pete Hegseth, accidentally shared details of forthcoming military strikes in an unofficial messaging group with a journalist. Meta is currently fighting a legal challenge from the US Federal Trade Commission, which alleges the company retains an illegal monopoly for its purchase of WhatsApp and photo-sharing app Instagram. The news comes as chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has made overtures to President Donald Trump, including multiple visits to the White House, in a bid to seek favourable outcomes for Meta. Meta has also been increasingly working with the US military, widely interpreted as an attempt to court Trump. Meta last November shifted its policy to allow government agencies to use its AI models, called Llama, for military purposes. Last month it announced it was teaming up with Anduril to build mixed reality products for the US army. Meanwhile, Meta’s chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth this month announced that he was accepting a commission as a lieutenant colonel in the US Army Reserve’s new Executive Innovation Corps. After pledging not to introduce advertising to WhatsApp as an early mantra, the messaging app last week announced it would be offering ads into the status section of the app, which is separate from where the chat conversations are hosted.

patrickcollins:If Iran can stop, dont forget they killed Iranians, not even hostages.....killed. Israel should also stop the killing in Gaza and withdraw..... Israel should release all the prisoners held in Israeli jails without Trials, bail or Bond Israel has thousands of hostages compared to Palestinians Both sides should release all of them. Learn to give fair judgement, for both sides. |
Empresa:Do you know how many Palestinians are in Israeli Jails, held without trial, with made up offenses.......Held for years !!!! No trial date, No bail or Bond !!! Thousands........Israel should release them as well. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Be a fair judge. Judge both sides. |
An Iranian official claimed that Tehran never received a ceasefire proposal from the United States and saw no reason to end the war with Israel and the United States, the official told CNN on Monday night. The official claimed that Tehran would continue the war and that remarks from Israeli and US leaders would be viewed as a "deception" to justify continued attacks on Iran. “At this very moment, the enemy is committing aggression against Iran, and Iran is on the verge of intensifying its retaliatory strikes, with no ear to listen to the lies of its enemies,” the official said. Trump's ceasefire announcement The comments came shortly before US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Following a security cabinet meeting on Monday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked ministers to avoid making public statements. Trump announced late on Monday night that a ceasefire has been reached between Israel and Iran and will enter into effect at 7 a.m. Israel time. Trump said that Iran will immediately cease attacks and Israel will join the ceasefire on the 12th hour of the agreement. On the 24th hour, both sides will reportedly accept an end to the 12-day war. "CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!)," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "For 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. "During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, 'THE 12 DAY WAR.' This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!" Qatar was involved in mediation between Israel and Iran to achieve a ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump on Monday night, a diplomatic source familiar with details told The Jerusalem Post. Israeli officials previously confirmed to the Jerusalem Post that the IDF intended to wrap up operations in Iran in the coming days.

emydnobl:Who be dis one ? Its a rhetorical question......SMH Go and read the context under which i asked the question Mr UN Secretary General |
Lets see if Israel is honorable enough to leave Palestinians and Gaza alone. If Iran is honorable to ceasefire with Israel since they have had their revenge. Israel should show the world their own magnanimity by honorable leaving Palestinians and the Gaza strip alone. Remove the blockade and let them breathe, also stop killing children and infants Watch and see the genocide loving Israel would not leave Gaza. Some people will say Gaza should release the Hostages, which i agree with. But don't forget, Israeli too is holding thousands of Palestinians in jails, without trial or bail. They are molested, beaten and abused as seen by previous releases. Palestinians treat the hostages better than the Israeli treat the thousands of Palestinians they have locked up in their prisons. |
False analysis. 30 Million is better In Nigeria why ? You can pay rent in Naija for 2 years in any state !!! In New York it might not even pay 1 month. You can buy a used car in Naija You cant buy anything good in US If you are sick, you will get good care in Naija Tht money cannot treat you in the US if you dont have insurance, even toothache can cost you the whole money You will eat the best organic food in Naija In the US , Its mainly processed food and GMO A lot of other things |
kay29000: God bless you.....Americans forcefully installed the Shah of Iran, who wasnt popular !! But he allowed them to steal the crude oil from Iran. BP was stealing their oil daily !!!! Then the Iranians forcefully removed the Shah and installed the Ayatollahs, who nationalized all their oil assets and said Iranian oil is for Iranians only !!! Guess what now the Americans want to remove the Ayatollah and replace him with the Son of the Shah....who allowed BP take all the oil they wanted. A lot of people dont read history.....they just come online with facts they heard in the news yesterday........lol |
Love800:91% Isopropyl alcohol. Popularly called methylated spirit. Just sprinkle it where they are. If they smell it they wont come out. Spray anywhere they are. |
ElevationD:Iranians have never complained about their leadership. Show me one protest with Iranians protesting home or abroad.....another propaganda. Go and read the history ? The USA imposed Shah of Iran. He was removed by Iranians and The ayatollahs was installed.....Let the people live the way they want. Connecting boko haram and Iran is delusional at the very least. Preconceived delusional paranoia should not be a reason to invade a sovereign state. |
ZombieTAMER:Iranians are 90% Muslim....and their democracy will always give them a Muslim leader. They also have their culture and tradition, which should be respected. Iranians have lived in the middle east forever and not started any wars. So what exactly is the problem ? |
Dennisochampa:You have no knowledge, yet you choose to come online and embarrass yourself. You just watch the western media propaganda on TV....LOL Israel has started and fought more wars than Iran. Why should Israel the smallest country have Nuclear weapons Iranians have a right to live their life as the deem fit. If i was Iran i will pursue Nuclear weapon |
patrickcollins:Answer the questions you asked.....Thats why i didnt waste time answering them....By the way the war is between Israel and Iran.lol |
adamkkk:Trying to get me banned...I will block you for 3 weeks. LMAO |
realmindz:Where is the stone age ? Thats the deceit western media has sold to people who would rather remain lazy uneducated people who don't use their own brain. Go and do your research....A lot of Iranian men and women with PhD. I worked with a lot of them. The Jewish people have even more stone age tradition than the Iranians....Go and verify They have a way of life they have chosen, which doesn't have to make sense to the rest of the world. Let them leave in peace. The Yoruba man lies down on the ground to greet his elders....despite even been a professor. that's his tradition. Iranians also have their traditions. Calling them stone age is unnecessary intrusion. |
patrickcollins:What stopped the USA from firing 250 missiles in Tehran as well ? What stopped them from attacking the Iran Embassy in the USA ? |
obembet:Rubbing alcohol. 90% It dissolves them on contact. |
Iran has the right to defends it sovereignty.... For those of you shouting regime Change.... The Ayatollahs have already picked their successors..... Some men rather die than live under some sort of bondage and slavery...... The Iranians will not live under American Bondage...... DON'T MESS WITH THE PERSIANS.....DIDNT EVEN TAKE THEM 24HOURS....AS E DEY HOT......
