    WhatsApp has MITM on the server side which is how Facebook scans your messages for targeted adverts. E2EE on WhatsApp was a fantasy the moment Facebook bought it

    That is different than Signal which (unless they changed something with the profiles thing) was always P2P E2EE. You’re sending encrypted messages directly to the other persons phone, not to a server.

      You shouldn’t make claims like this when there is no evidence for it.

      Signal has never been P2P.
