It's not that infeasible to have a web platform that encrypts users messages, just each client gets an encryption key. Look at Telegram, or even FB Messenger end to end encryption. I'm not saying they ever said they didn't have the ability to do it, I'm saying it's weird that they would use "message snooping" as a form of user photo submission.
- danbruc 9y agoWhen I send messages using the Messenger app - which is supposed to use end-to-end encryption, isn't it? - I can see and search those messages on facebook.com. Something does not add up here. And if they have the keys on their servers, then it's rather pointless to use end-to-end encryption in the first place.
