> Perhaps the ads came from some other similar search queries. Perhaps they came from the keyboard intercepting what was typed. Or perhaps something else that I can't think of. But I'm nearly certain it did not come from meta intercepting the contents of your messages.
Isn't this kind of splitting hairs? Does it matter if text information came from a "side channel"?
It seems like the promise Facebook makes is that 'your communication using whats app is secure,' that's certainly my interpretation of what "end to end encrypted" means. It is a promise of security. That means text is sacred and even text sent to giphy should be privileged from the ad machine.
The question being asked here is not "is it end to end encrypted?" It's "are my communications secure?" End to end encryption is just one element of that security.
