    Thanks for the comment. I haven’t found any local news for this. I may update this once I find any

    And for my story: A guy came from the police station he had a list all the people who were using "signal, element and bip (not open source, full of ads but encrypted) and a buch more end to end encrypted apps. Shown my mobile number, address and my name.

    Told me why I was using signal and element and also had to show my chats. Didn’t look at all the chats, was curious tho.

    Said that these apps were used by terrorist and all and you should switch to WhatsApp.

    WhatsApp runs India. It is a backbone all Indian users and it is also e2ee for all I know
