Given the recent detainment of a French person who got detained because he said something bad about the current administration in his WhatsApp messages. It makes me wonder if WhatsApp is truly end to end encrypted as they claimed. How did they even single him out?
As a corollary question, if I were to pass Customs, and if I delete WhatsApp , Reddit etc just before I reach the counter, will they be able to find out that I just deleted the apps minutes ago? I’ll be deleting them from my phone but keep them on the cloud.
Moderator accused the OP of “obvious astroturfing.”
Maybe they were astroturfing. Read the sidebar for the rules. Are they being applied evenly?
Search the subreddit. There are plenty of posts critical of Facebook/Meta.
Many accusations of astroturfing but no evidence. I thought it was obvious.
