WhatsApp Ordered To Help U.S. Agents Spy On Chinese Phones

The U.S. doesn’t need to know whom they’re targeting or show probable cause when ordering Facebook, WhatsApp or any tech company to help agencies spy on users in secret, newly unsealed court documents show.

U.S. federal agencies have been using a 35-year-old American surveillance law to secretly track WhatsApp users with no explanation as to why and without knowing whom they are targeting.
