I asked perhaps an obvious question: Why doesn't WhatsApp just remove misinformation?https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/coronavirus/2020/04/whatsapp-harder-forward-messages-why-not-remove-misinformation …

I mean this same thing happened in India (except it involved people being murdered) and Facebook instigated the exact same forwarding feature as a fix. I don't think anyone's re-engineering the whole of WhatsApp to remove encryption any time soon.
Yeah I mention that in the piece explicitly! And yes, I also say in the piece that I don't think it will happen. I just think they should around this tbh

I am past Facebook removing any kind of E2E in my mind. The insane part of this announcement to me is they clearly have more information on messages being forwarded (in terms of volume, percentiles, timings etc) that they could record and make visible. But instead this is it.

This is SO true, I wholeheartedly agree
