A sibling poster mentions when an emergency is announced that they do indeed hand it over - I do wonder though is that for USA, or all countries.

I’m curious why you recommend WhatsApp use when it’s a Meta/FB asset and they calamitously announced that your data will be shared with the rest of their entity (last year?) even though they swore they wouldn’t when they acquired WhatsApp. This event was the cause for millions of people to leave WhatsApp and cause Signal to be a mainstream competitor.
