Their argument is tracing persons vs tracing content. If law enforcement comes with a warrant against a specific person of interest, then WhatsApp presumably has ways and means to pull all metadata associated with that person's account (which presumably includes all contacts, metadata about all messages sent/received - timestamp & other-party contact details, along with app metrics – IP addresses, mobile device/network information etc). It would be same as a telephone network except for the actual content itself. If they also have a way to eavesdrop on content by breaking end to end encryption (and users don't care when WhatsApp on their device says the other parties signature changed), there's that possibility that they could be under gag order to not acknowledge that. |
