💨 Abstract

Meta opposes the ban on WhatsApp in U.S. government devices. The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of the U.S. House of Representatives directed employees to stop using the app, citing transparency concerns over privacy and data security practices. Employees must delete WhatsApp from government devices. Inherently, Meta’s communications advocate Andy Stone disputes the CAO's assessment, highlighting WhatsApp's encryption and frequent use by Congress members.
