whatsapp is facebook; do you need any other "source"?

i'd be surprised if they didn't have straight out government logins...

Of course I need another source. I think you're right too but this is just speculation. I thought you had access to some actual information.
They're getting sued for it.

If this is the case you’re referring to, then I don’t know that it is proof of your assertion, in fact maybe the opposite: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/31/us-author...

Anyone can sue anyone for anything. I have no doubt the US government has access to whatever data it wants from all businesses, but a lawsuit is not evidence of anything.
