Wasn't there some kind of E2E encryption on WhatsApp? If true, how do you block users from sending a link?

    On Tuesday morning, WIRED verified that posting links to the site was blocked on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. WIRED also confirmed that links can still be sent on WhatsApp, another Meta-owned product.

    Why do you say they are blocking it on WhatsApp?

    The title doesn't say anything about WhatsApp so I guess you just skimmed the title :D

    It's ok, I know everyone does it.
