Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption
Candice_the_elephant@lemmy.world 2 hours agoI don’t think it can be called End to End Encryption if it is actually End to End and The guy in the Middle.
End to End implies only the Sender and Recipient have keys to decrypt the message.

It’s not End to End and The guy in the Middle. The message is encrypted from one end to the other. The detail about who has a copy of the key doesn’t spoil that fact, and I guarantee you Meta doesn’t care about using E2EE as a marketing term even if it misrepresents their actual product by matter of status quo. What matters is what they can theoretically argue in a court room.
