Bring it on. Disprove the rare vance incident, or prove your bullshit claims about WeChat. If you can do neither, it’s a clear case of projection.

WeChat uses transport encryption but not end to end. This is well known. If you’re unwilling to search here’s an article. However WeChat doesn’t use end-to-end encryption (E2EE). Here’s another. WeChat encrypts data, but it’s not E2EE, which means WeChat can access the content of your messages And another (this one’s from citizen lab and a reasonably technical dive). On a technical level, WeChat’s encryption protocol protects the communication between user devices and WeChat’s servers. It is not an end-to-end encryption system, which would encrypt data sent between two user devices. There’s no end to them tbh. If you can find me anything that says WeChat uses E2E anywhere I’ll read it but they don’t even claim that themselves so I think you’ll be hard pressed. Here’s a list of blocked phrases on WeChat. I honestly have no idea what you’re banging on about with the Vance thing. I’m not from the USA which I assumed was your assertion.
