Comment on X launches E2E encrypted Chat

Why does everyone in here think that E2E encryption is some insanely hard new thing? It’s been “solved” for years lol. It’s not hard to do.

Because cryptography is hard, especially when you’re trying to do it in a user-friendly manner, with syncing encrypted conversations between devices and whatnot. Like, it’s kinda the whole reason why the classic reply to “how do I make my own encryption algorithm” is “don’t”.
Also, with proprietary platforms you can’t make sure stuff’s encrypted the way they say it is
