That was my question. What information does WhatsApp share with the law enforcement. Just, as you said IP and so, or also the messages?

if it's truly end to end encrypted, they would only have metadata. which is what the NSA collects en masse from Telecom providers.

What does that even mean? There are so many different kinds of metadata I'm not sure why it's useful to compare Telecom metadata collection to Whatsapp.
