None of the statements I’ve seen from Meta, people formerly involved in WhatsApp that chimed in here (thanks!), or the quotes from the investigation are incompatible with the whistleblowers’ allegations.

At this point, I won’t trust anything short of this on the front page of an SEC filing, signed by zuck and the relevant management chain:

“The following statement is material to earnings: Facebook has never (since E2EE was rolled out) and will never access messages sent through whatsapp via any means including the encryption protocol, application backdoor moderation access or backup mechanisms. Similarly, it does not provide third parties with access to the methods, and does not have the technical capability to do so under any circumstances.”
