What is end-to-end encryption and why is WhatsApp against breaking it? | Explained

WhatsApp on Thursday told the Delhi High Court that the instant messaging platform will exit India if it is forced to break end-to-end encryption of messages on its platform.

Governments worldwide want tech companies to implement measures that allow them to bypass end-to-end encryption as and when needed, on national security grounds.
