So literally defeating the purpose of e2e encryption where the conversations are between me and the other person. Not parsed prior for advertising. In any case people should avoid WhatsApp as it’s clearly less secure now that Facebook owns it.

Certainly! Just that with a closed-source endpoint the use (or not) of E2EE is meaningless.
