The point is, whatsapp is closed source, it could be doing other things
beside sending your messages. It could be snooping on other things and
sending that data elsewhere. Meta has now demonstrated it doesn't worry
too much about the law. Do you want that software on your phone? or are
you going to wait for the next thing to be discovered?

  I just was in the UK for two weeks and the TV broadcasts are
splattered with commercials from WhatsApp, saying that your messages are
safe and that no-one, including WhatsApp can read them.

  Of course, commercials 'lie' all the time, but these would open
WhatsApp to some serious legal action (and fines), so until proven
otherwise, we'll should assume that WhatsApp is *not* lying.
