>...uses long-lived keys that can decrypt all historical traffic (like PGP)... It is pretty clear from what the article describes that they are not doing some sort of static encryption thing like PGP. They are providing a system that is completely under the control of a central authority. Static encryption would normally give control to the end users at the cost having the users responsible for their own key information. They are not going for any sort of user empowerment here.

> They are providing a system that is completely under the control of a central authority. That could be the dictionary definition of the opposite of end-to-end encryption. Since the claim is that it will be e2ee, I'd assume they at least make an attempt to meet the definition and subvert it in some other way.

  It the classical definition of end to end encription: you encrypt it and use _our_ channel to send the keys to the recipient of the message. We promise ( rotfl) that we won't look.
