Why aren’t the bosses identified via whatsapp?

I thought that’s why various western countries require chat applications to allow decryption of private messages.

These scam factories seem to be the perfect use case for all these anti-privacy regulations. Pity these operations are so profitable.

in these countries simcards and cell phones are not so strictly linked to personal identity documents, so even if the chats are decrypted it is not very helpful
