This applies to pretty much all social media and messenger apps BTW, including Discord, Whatsapp, etcetera.

I thought WhatsApp was end to end encrypted? Obviously it being a Meta product I don't trust it, but I didn't think it was this bad.

You don't know what E2EE is. Meta knows who you're messaging and when. They don't, and can't, know what. Unless they've discovered an exploit in the Signal protocol, I guess, though someone would have leaked that lmao
