there’s no way for anyone, including X, to read your messages.
That defeats the purpose of a messaging platform.
I know what they meant, but the phrasing is so, so stupid. Anyone who is considering this platform, should think twice before doing so. If they get the phrasing of such a simple sentiment this, incoherently wrong, what does their code look like and what do the encryption protocols look like? If I’d have to guess… AI slop.

The phrasing is only stupid if you are trying to have an issue with it. Obviously you and the person you’re chatting to can read your messages.

Encryption is easy, safe key exchange and extension (or whatever it’s called) for messages longer than the key is harder to make right. If every pair of people on the planet had a common ethereal endless source of entropy, then all they’d have to do is encrypt messages with it and provide address in that source.
OK, I should go offline for some time
