Someone clarify me please 🤔

If e2ee happens from client to client, means a closed proprietary app like WhatsApp can use the decrypted messages at the client level & do can steal it even though the connection is marketed as e2ee

Am I right, or I'm missing out something?

Coz I see the option to send last 5 messages to meta when I report a spam and block the number.

So the e2ee is useless if the client is closed source right? 🤔

Dozens of CDC databases aren't being updated — most related to vaccines, study finds

The agency plays a key role in tracking disease spread and vaccination rates. Last year, it seemed to back away from some of that work, according to new research.
