They announced that they would do that. It's yet to be seen whether they'll follow through at the end. But I still would not risk using it.
They are pretty vocal about the fact they are doing it. One example: https://nitter.net/HillebrandMax/status/1596785852478533632#m

And of course their Terms of Use explain quite clearly what you are signing up for by using Wasabi:
COIN FILTERING

    zkSNACKs Ltd. may execute illicit activity checking and control via a contracted third party solely in its CoinJoin coordination services. zkSNACKs Ltd. may suspend your UTXOs’ access to the CoinJoin services, with immediate effect for any reason - including but not limited to illicit or prohibited activities, applicable sanctions programs, or any crime or money-laundering activity - at its sole discretion and is under no obligation to disclose the details of its decision to take such action with you. In this case you are not permitted to use the relevant/high-risk bitcoin UTXO to reach the CoinJoin services.
    You acknowledge that zkSNACKs Ltd.'s decision to take certain actions, including suspending for any reason at our sole discretion, may be based on confidential criteria that are essential to zkSNACKs Ltd.'s risk management and security protocols. You agree that zkSNACKs Ltd. is under no obligation to disclose the details of its risk management and security procedures to you.
    Your access with the relevant bitcoin UTXOs to the CoinJoin services will be permanently suspended.

Emphasis mine. Sounds just like the terms of a centralized exchange. "We give your data to third parties, and we can do what we want with your coins without telling you why and there is nothing you can do about it".

And don't forget that Wasabi coinjoins are fundamentally broken and the devs either ignore the problem or outright lie about it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5419000.msg61220171#msg61220171
