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

What about location? Wasn’t there a thing about whatsapp encryption leaking gps location or something?

Really sad to see humans being able to be this nasty to each other. Technology being the enabler and enforcer, and also the means around detection.

These scams are really a good excuse to force whatsapp to do something about their technology. Afterall they patented it (probably) so their own it and they should do their best to ensure it’s not abused.
