Really? Why is that? Why you can’t compare two instant messaging apps? What is so hilarious?

Btw, WhatsApp was made by a different company, and then bought by Meta, when it was already the most used instant messaging app in the EU. And it has a lot of really nice features. There’s a reason so many people use it.

Yes, I know all of this. What do you think meta is doing with all that data?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You mean all that metadata? As far as we know, all messages are e2e encrypted and no one has proven it otherwise.

e2ee means the message text is encrypted. Obviously metadata isnt as you cant hide where you want your message to be delivered to or what time it is sent.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The only available information is the metadata, not messages
