I dunno, I've personally heard from friends who thought that WhatsApp was turning off encryption. Tons of people have misunderstood what the policy change meant. I agree that it's partly self-serving to focus on those people (as opposed to the people who did understand the policy and still felt angry about it), but it's not unreasonable.

Agreed, I had to explain to my friends (some even lawyers, who felt very strongly about this) what this change actually entailed regarding message encryption.

Care to share your explanation. What does it mean? Genuinely curious.
