  Does anyone genuinely believe that it was true e2ee? It’s Facebook. There is NO WAY they didn’t have a man-in-the-middle backdoor.

    Yes, I do, but you don’t need a man in the middle when you also hold the decryption keys (on both ends). E2EE is useful in case you get hacked, since unless they get the whole system, a copy of the data at rest would be encrypted.

  The most encrypted messages on a platform are the ones you don’t send at all.

  Why give these apps your most precious resource, your time, if they won’t respect your privacy and actively work with and support government over reach?

  Nobody even had it enabled it the first place because it was opt-it. It’s dark patterns like these that companies use to maximize profits by exploiting the users as much as possible.

  I’m only upvoting because you provided without the paywall. Sincerely thank you boss.

  But honestly like where is the danger? I know someone can quote the article but if you were usong insta for encrypted messaging, imo, you should go see a shrink.

    Aren’t all the archive services used as huge botnets? Except for archive.org of course.

      There are only two that I know of, archive.org and archive.today. The latter is the botnet and has a lot of alternative domains.
