I wonder if something like this is behind the push from Microsoft to obsolete a lot of hardware with the windows 11 release. The NSA pushed them to require a hardware upgrade so people replace devices bearing old processors with new ones featuring the latest bleeding-edge backdoors.
What if your comment is a part of a psyop to keep paranoid people (NSA's true target) on their old devices which are even easier to breach?
I do notice that a lot of enemies of the state seem to use poorly secured platforms. Everything from Hamas using pagers to widespread use of unencrypted telegram groups and discord, and the ANOM sting with a non-e2e app.
Yet platforms with apparently secure e2e messaging (ie. WhatsApp) never seem to be used by criminals.
I wonder if this is just selection bias in the criminals caught, or if there is some forcing factor persuading criminals to make poor security choices.

Do you have the keys to your WhatsApp messages ? Are you sure that they only reach their intended recipient ?
