Foreign AffairsUS House Of Representatives Bans Whatsapp On Government Devices -Financial Times by malali(op): 12:46pm On Jun 24, 2025
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.

And their master Iran wouldn't do anything, I hope Israel goes out from Palestine too but Hamas must behave, war is not a child's play throwing missiles to Israel must stop
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.

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.
Foreign AffairsIranian Official Tells CNN Tehran Never Received Ceasefire Proposal by malali(op):
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.

Foreign AffairsRe: Israel And Iran Have Agreed To A Ceasefire, To Commence In Six Hour - Trump by malali:
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.

When this war started, I took time to research Iran history. I discovered USA has been trying to enslaved them/control thrm for decades. After WW2, America loaded over them and was syphoning their crude oil for decades till they chased America out of their country.

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

Oga, leave the long story. You have always harped on your western propaganda story. So you think that other people should join you in listening to news channels only in Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, Gaza and Iraq.

I wonder how you came about your conclusion. Decent countries in the Middle East long arrived at the conclusion that nuclear in the hands of Iran, with such extremists in charge would amount to serious danger for them all. So what’s the issue? The claim was that it was for peaceful purposes, which no one disputed, and yet they moved on with building nuclear bombs.

The Israelis have long ago meant aimed silence over their possession of nuclear weapons. No one has been threatened and there’s peace.

When you say Iranians, are please learn to distinguish between the extremists and the normal citizens. They all are not in agreement. Decent Iranians want peace in their country.

The Mullahs have inflicted most nations with terrorist acts, including our country. Boko haram kickstarted with learning from Iranian extremist scholars. Now peace is fast becoming a mirage in Nigeria.
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.

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 ?

This one deh mix story book with reality....
If it's before... Iran will fire 700 missiles at once....
How many u hear say them deh fire with each passing dayhuh,
Answer that question and you will understand why it's wise for Iran to concede defeat and call for truce....
When they don't have nuclear weapons, they already arm terrorists groups like hamas and Houthis with their long range missiles to strike and attack Isreal and USA assets.....
What do you think they will do if they have access to nuclear weaponshuh
This is why the USA and Israel... Especially Israel don't want them to have nuclear weapon....
See what happened when Hamas attacked Israel some time ago.... 1200 killed without warning, without notice and without nuclear weapons...alot of the planning and weapons used in the attack as reported, were provided by Iran
Think about what they will do if Iran was allowed to have nuclear weapons....
Nobody talk say make you no pursue your nuclear dreams.....
Just don't enrich your uranium to weapons grade....
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

Iran was Persian until Islamic extremists took over in 1979 and sent the country back to the Stone Age..

Ayatollahs is not bigger than the world, he should set Iran free from Islam or collect
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.

While it's true that uranium is the key thing in the production of nuclear weapon, it's also a common sense to know that if that is the only thing needed, Iran would have been counted among countries with nuclear weapon long time ago. So I think the process of converting the uranium into the nuclear weapon is what US aimed to destabilize. Having uranium is not US problem but having nuclear weapon is. About 7 states in Nigeria has Uranium.

If you like type in red till tomorrow, the only options Iran has in this war are-

1. Indiscriminate throwing of missiles till they finish their stockpiles
2. Activate their terror cells in US bases and perhaps in US or Britain

And both will only lead to more misery for them. A totally defenseless country where a foreign army has been operating unchallenged for 10 days has little options, if it goes beyond his boundaries, it will be totally annihilated.

Now that you people have realized that Iran has no true allies, not Russia, not China, not Pakistan not even a single arab nation, you are dreaming of a delusional strait that doesn't even belong to Iran, which military power will they use to close it? when they can not even defend their own air space.

America is the largest producer of oil today! America gains more from higher oil prices Do your research well before jumping to conclusions.

secondly Iran closing the strait is a direct asphysiation of their own economy, the economy will collapse very fast, that is suicidal.

Produces 12.5 million barrels a day

Consumes 19 million barrels a day

Where do you think the extra approx 7 million barrels comes from ??

From your research institute ?
