You are making a bunch of assertions with no basis. WhatsApp's encryption hasn't been weakened. FB can't look at encrypted message content, neither can WhatsApp. A lot of people use WhatsApp because of the encryption guarantees, please don't spread unverified claims.

Facebook owns the communication end points and can do whatever they want with the message contents before they're sent encrypted.

Given their history, I would be surprised if they don't do some on-device metadata analysis.
