Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption

Even if that’s all true, it’s not evidence that the end to end encryption is broken.
That sort of debug access could simply be included in the clients.

I’m not sure if it’s the encryption part you don’t understand, the end to end, or both.

I understand perfectly well, it’s you who doesn’t.
If the access happens on the client which is the endpoint of the e2e-encryption then it doesn’t say anything about the e2e-encryption working or not working. On the endpoint the content is always available decrypted, for user consumption

an end to end encryption implementation is broken when secret keys leak, whether its intentional or not.

Nowhere in the given scenario do secret keys leak.

The “encryption for two different receiving sides” part is the one that you, in turn, might have missed. WhatsApp client might just send messages to some additional technical party, which is not your buddy.
