What’s your point?
The question at hand is whether any major company would allow consumers to send messages the company can’t harvest for data. The answer is yes. Apple does.
Are you saying they don’t? —That they actually have backdoored their E2E messaging app already?
If you are just saying that it’s not entirely impossible for them to do backdoor, I don’t see what bearing that has on the discussion.
- gsich 9y agoWhy backdoor the messaging app, when you can just add a new device. Apple does, but as far as trust goes, they are on the same level as WhatsApp (also E2E).
- briandear 9y agoWhatsApp is part of Facebook. Claiming Apple is on the same level as a Facebook-owned entity is absurd. Apple can’t see who your contacts are (it’s encrypted in iCloud) but Facebook can.
- gsich 9y agoSo Apple delivers your messages via magic? You are logged in from one endpoint. So Apple knows that you are you. It does also know who your other chat partner is. At some point there is a transmission of data from A to B. I don't see a way to hide the metadata if the data is transmitted through Apples network. If it's P2P, then yes.
