#^No, end-to-end encryption does not prevent Facebook from accessing WhatsApp chats

At a glance
* During his Congressional hearing, Mark Zuckerberg claimed that Facebook doesnâ€™t have access to WhatsApp chats thanks to end-to-end encryption.
* Nevertheless, communication channels between the WhatsApp and Facebook iOS apps could be abused to leak data from the entire chat history.
* The object of this article is not to claim that Facebook snoops on WhatsApp chats, but that end-to-end encryption is used by both WhatsApp and Facebook as a disingenuous and misleading argument to reassure the public.
