Im talking about message content, images, contact networks, behavioural patterns, etc.

As long as its not e2ee all that can be inferred from just the serverside data even if the client sends only whats necessary. And the last two even if it were e2ee.

This whole ID thing is just the tip of the iceberg. People are just blind to all the spying that was already happening without them noticing.
