Original Note:
Musk is correct. Per WhatsApp's own privacy policy, the app does constantly export user data. While it may not collect message content itself, sensitive metadata like location and contacts is collected. According to NSA general counsel: "We Kill People Based on Metadata". https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy https://www.nybooks.com/online/2014/05/10/we-kill-people-based-metadata/
