E2E do not prevent client side blocking. Whatsapp app can get image that it needs to block from a remote, then check the recieved message against the image it needs to block; then block the image when it needs to.
Obviously not trying to justify their behavior, but it is important to know that E2EE is not a elixir for privacy and security.
Right, the mantra needs to be end-to-end encryption, plus open source. For full user agency.
If it’s closed source the agent doesn’t have to operate on your behalf.
