Meta has all the power here. WhatsApp is ubiquitous in the EU. If they just shut it down, so many systems would be utterly fucked. They have to walk it back.
But I'm sure they don't have the balls and don't care, they'd just point at the gov and say "they made us do it!" while collecting all your message info and exploiting it for profit.
UK... Not EU... Haven't you heard of Brexit? They wouldn't be allowed to do shit like that in the EU.
The EU is literally trying to do it right now: https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/19/24181214/eu-chat-control-law-propose-scanning-encrypted-messages-csam
