    Correct, WhatsApp fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it. So, it has never been secure.

    I don’t know if they still do it but they actively gaslight you into believing you have e2e even with peers you have not scanned the public key of.

      I get your point but E2E is independent from public key validation. Public key validation is basically being a bit more slightly sure that the E2E communication happens with who you think, although… It’s never a guarantee. Keys can be stolen.
