I dont see the argument posed here. If a user sends a new message to 2nd user, and 2nd user forwards the message to a government agent, and agent asks for the origin of the message, there is a way to both encrypt the message and trace it. It's called convergent encryption. And I thought this was how whatsapp was tracking messages that were forwarded multiple times. By checking their base hash.

- baby 5y agoInteresting, do you have resources to learn more on that?
