I really don't think the average person cares if their texts are end-to-end encrypted, though. I'm not sure most people even know what that would mean.

I didn't assert tha the average person cares, just that the original claim about whatsapp is false.

And also: it doesn't matter whether end users care about encryption or not, it still benefits them, this is exactly why end-to-end encryption is a very good default.

I agree the average person doesn’t know what it is, but I bet they would care if they did.
