The bigger lie is probably at the beginning of the article, from the CEO of Telegram.

[WhatsApp] reads users’ messages and shares them with third parties. Telegram has never done this — and never will.”

This whole article is exhausting to read because it appears AI generated, though. I've never seen somebody write that many short, "punchy" sentences in a row. For example, take a gander at this seven-word, three-sentence paragraph.

WhatsApp uses this. It’s real. It works.

I immediately noticed, it's AI with the "This isn't x, it's y" sentence.

But here’s the thing: this isn’t a political fight. It’s not a he-said, she-said between tech billionaires. It’s a technical question.

To be fair, there are many humans who talk this way too, but point taken.
