It will be so foolish of anyone to think that WhatsApp is a truly e2e encrypted ...

Why ? You think Meta removed the privacy layers or put backdoors in place ? I mean if that's the suspicion, maybe we should read the terms of service and see if they actually guarantee E2E encryption

Every message we send via this service still most likely goes through it's bots that try to gather user context.

I'm guessing there will be some tricky legal wording in their T&C that wouldn't rule them out from being an intermediate entity that can see messages.

The way Zuckerberg tricked Acton and Koum is by itself enough for me not to trust Whatsapp. Even from a hypothetical "their encryption works but that's really scummy" perspective

It was bought as a power play, consolidation of tech power. Why would I trust them to do the right thing?
