Boo.
All the shiny bells-and-whistles in the world aren't going to cover the fact that this should be end-to-end by default.
I suspect at least some of the folks working on it feel this way too, so I imagine it's really shitty for some of them to have it work this way. If WhatsApp is already end-to-end by default there's no reason at all that a new app trying to enter that already saturated space shouldn't be.
Sincerely, I hope this fails quickly.
My grumpy old ass will stay on Signal thanks very much.

- saint_fiasco 10y agoMaybe you could invite @google to the conversation just like you can invite a friend to a conversation in Hangouts.
- headmelted 10y agoOh it definitely wouldn't. I'd be fine with this though as, admittedly cynically, I suspect that Assistant's main reason for existing is to provide a justification for the lack of encryption.
