According to Meta Whatsapp is E2EE and Data requests by government agencies can only reveal metadata like recipients, durations of calls, frequency of messages, but not content of messages.

To many normal people the "from" field in an email means that it came from there.
I am wondering how they get the data back though, unless they demand it is faxed, or sent to another email address. (Or the person replying doesn't notice the different reply-to address.)
