despite "end-to-end" encryption (for WhatsApp) they are sending copy of some messages based on keywords to authorities, PRISM-like.

Officially to protect kids, but who knows what is in this keywords list.

I doubt anyone who wants guarantees that their communication aren't leaked is using Whatsapp or Snapshat anyway.
