> closed-source Focusing on the technical implementation of e2e is a distraction. For the sake of argument, let's assume that Facebook actually implements e2e and they really cannot read the cleartext or make it available to fbi.gov. My argument is that this is a dystopian outcome as bad or worse than WeChat's model of 100% state surveillance and control. It's a devious way for Facebook to avoid responsibility for the harm its platform amplifies and accelerates.
