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.

~~Um... its been the rule for a while, nothing recent. Its just stupid. Somthing like: "Signal vs Briar" is also not allowed because it mentions a specific name of a software/OS/tool/platform/service~~

Nvm

Can you point to it in the sidebar?

I don't think it exists

The same non-existent rule was used here

Nvm, I was thinking of the "No Mention of Specific Alternative OSes" rule
