Couldn't you sort of test this by enabling E2E, sending a link that was previously blocked, and seeing if it is still blocked? That would at least show some sign if it's all a sham or not.
- jacquesm 7y agoThat would guarantee absolutely nothing.
- 0xffff2 7y agoIf the link was still blocked it would guarantee that Facebook is still eavesdropping.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoOther guy was right. Think about this easy scenario If (E2E_ENABLED) { SkipCrawler(); SkipContentChecks(); }
- BubRoss 7y agoAgain, it isn't to prove the encryption works, it is only a test that could prove that it doesn't work.

- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoAh, yea, I got the argument backwards. I thought he was saying if content wasn’t blocked that it proved encryption worked. Can’t prove the negative.
- heynk 7y agoYes, totally understood. I am just thinking in line with a different response that this could be an easy way to prove if they’re still snooping - not a guarantee that they aren’t.
- cmroanirgo 7y agoAgreed. There is nothing stopping the sender's app from parsing and reporting URLs in any and all content before e2e occurs... Even to FB servers
