Data exchange in network traffic is usually encrypted. If they really tried, it could also be obfuscated in other ways, so there's no real way to know if they're really spying or not.

You can only fully trust it if the OS and its relevant application components are open source. so that you exactly know what it does.

I don't trust Facebook either, but it's hard to believe until you have hard evidence.

Also, with the way encryption in applications is implemented, it's kind of hard for Meta to know what the plaintext contents of your messages are. The UK wouldn't even ask for this in the first place if WhatsApp used some shoddy implementation that allows them to read all of your personal messages.

Then why would this legislation be dumb? Many laptops already support high-watt USB-C charging. USB-C also would allow for higher speed data transfers on the iPhone. You can use the same charger for everything.

You're being edgy because rules by politicians bad and you're tech illiterate
