    Wasn’t there some kind of E2E encryption on WhatsApp? If true, how do you block users from sending a link?

      On Tuesday morning, WIRED verified that posting links to the site was blocked on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. WIRED also confirmed that links can still be sent on WhatsApp, another Meta-owned product.

      Why do you say they are blocking it on WhatsApp?

          The title doesn’t say anything about WhatsApp so I guess you just skimmed the title :D

          It’s ok, I know everyone does it.

      WhatsApp claims to be E2E but they store all their data/messages on a server. So thats a lie.
