X is now offering me end-to-end encrypted chat — you probably shouldn't trust it yet | TechCrunch

  I trust it but there is a major misunderstanding of end to end encryption. Some implementations the platform holder does not have a key to decrypt data but it is far from a requirement. All end to end means is there’s a blocker preventing the network from seeing what you send not twitter who im assuming has a copy of the key.

    That is NOT end to end encryption. That is transport layer encryption. So basically SSL

    End to end is from sender to recipient. No one in the middle should be able to read anything

      It’s like ssl but done at the application layer. Nobody in the middle can read it except it’s nobody in the middle of you and twitter and twitter and the recipient. If you put something on a platform and they have the key they will always be able to read it if they want to.

  I do really like E2EE but why do I need it in everything?

  If I want to talk to someone I would rather them message me on Signal or something that I trust more.

    Yeah, way too many services have chats. I think it’s because every large platform wants to be an “everything app”. Messaging is a really easy to feature to implement to (theoretically) add value.
