I know many have suspicions of Whatsapp privacy. I know the claim still needs to be proven, but the allegation is troubling.

    Yeah people fundamentally misunderstand what e2e encryption is.

    No one can decrypt it between you and them. However, yours or their device has an unencrypted view of it, so if your app happily transmits all of your data, that doesn’t break the e2e encryption.

    How do people think WhatsApp makes money?
