What I find odd here is that I predicted exactly this problem back when WhatsApp first started using the protocol. I encouraged people to use Signal instead of WhatsApp because WhatsApp moved discovery outside the security model, where it would just require one “mistake” and all that data could be harvested. Plus, of course, once Meta bought them, they had unfettered access to this data.
