    Now is probably a good time to remember what a VPN can and cannot do. It can block your ISP from knowing which sites you’re going to. It can bypass ISP-level blocks, including geo-blocks.

    It cannot stop the endpoints (WhatsApp, both the client and server) from harvesting whatever data they want from there.

    Meta is clearly concerned about bans on WhatsApp. This is nothing more than their own self-interests.
