- boudin 1y agoE2E encryption does not protect against any of this. Whatsapp can still decrypt messages locally and feed back information to meta.

- fcpk 1y agoyou mean things like having a localhost server running on android service to bypass tracking restrictions and run all of your stuff illegally?

And people are looking for this specifically.
