    I mean that’s one very specific scenario. Also you wouldn’t be able to call any of those places on WhatsApp or IG Messenger.

      Who you associate with, what people/services you call and what places you frequent is way, way more interesting than knowing the actual contents of your messages. I mean they’d probably obviously prefer both, but if you had to pick one, metadata is more valuable.

        What data is available is not so important to me as what data could be used against me in a court of law.

        Bit of a moot point regardless as there are plenty of private messengers.
