What?
>WhatsApp communication is considered public in court and is credibly being monitored
I think, unless I misunderstood. Is that those records are not stored on Meta's server but could be subjected to usage in court with minimal work. Cant you have disappearing message so they self delete ?
I am also unaware of they could see my Whatsapp messages without getting me to unblock my phone as the content of the message are encrypted. But they do have some metadata. So on a threat level that depends on people's risk appetite.
I know people in US loathe Meta but generally speaking I think Whatsapp is pretty damn good.
People loathe Meta cause if they don't hit their quarterly targets for Wall St what happens? - They will sell more of your data, push more ads down your throat, charge businesses more for reach and visibility, and blame anyone who complains for not acting like more like the poster children of the Attention Economy ie Trump and Elon. Content explodes but Attention available doesn't grow therefore Meta can't grow forever. Therefore all the above tactics are the only way for that mentally bankrupt organization to survive.
Don't post online. Just live your life as locally as possible and talk to your IRL friends. There's no privacy against the state online. All your devices are made by companies that care about profit more than privacy and any service will hand over your details if asked.
While there are more private options for communicating with a small group, good luck convincing anyone else to use them. The average person gives no fucks and isn't going to bother decrypting what you send them.
Wasn't Pavel Durov the billionaire CEO under investigation and put into jail in France to be coerced/forced to build a backdoor into Telegram for the French Government?
He just recently came free. I don't know if there is any proof that Telegram is not backdoored by now.
Even if someone can analyse all binary releases and reverse engineer the code. It's more likely Telegram servers are backdoored and not the clients.
Session - no e-mail or phone number needed. It generates a 66 digit id on new account creation.

If you are this paranoid, you probably want to host your own solution from scratch.
