    They don’t want to ban encryption, they want to block encrypted chat apps, precisely so they don’t have to build backdoors. AFAIK it’s not possible to break signal/WhatsApp encryption without access to the targeted device, and once you have access you can get the messages directly without having to break the encryption.

      Do we know if the WhatsApp encryption is not breakable, if yes how? It could maybe have backdoors inside
