Has Meta threatened to boycott? I know Signal has, and now Apple. However my searches for Meta/WhatsApp seem to show that there’s been contention over their introduction of E2E but they haven’t actually threatened to pull out over it.

That said, I’d be very happy to see that they did threaten a boycott as well.

Meta:

> Some countries have chosen to block it [WhatsApp]: that’s the reality of shipping a secure product. We’ve recently been blocked in Iran, for example. But we’ve never seen a liberal democracy do that.

They said they won't comply. UK would have to simply block WhatsApp.

Thanks. Hopefully they continue to stick to their guns.
