Original post text

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.

    I thought that at first but now that I comment and post more I get a lot of mean comments here and there. Most users are just redditors so they’ve brought their old ways, sadly. I do hope we can collectively strive to not be redditors. I would prefer HN-like discussions
