I'm not encouraging anyone to use this by saying this but WhatsApp traffic it's encrypted and the traffic through the socket its also encrypted, I guess you can't get in trouble for sending and recieving lots of weird messages? Again, intended for educational usage

that's a lot of words to say "yes, an overzealous prosecutor could try and make a case using the CFAA", but that's because the CFAA is a bullshit overly-broad law. that it's bullshit doesn't change the threat to the prosecuted, unfortunately.
you are totally right
