Just because you are using E2E you don't have to make it blatantly obvious.
Backdoored E2E (with an added government decryption key) will look just like proper E2E until you attempt to decrypt it.
You can also put your secure E2E communications inside backdoored E2E communications. The possibilities are endless.
- HWR_14 5y agoRight, until you analyze it, it won't look encrypted. But pretending or wrapping it in backdoored E2E doesn't change that. If I labeled it "plain text" it also wouldn't look encrypted until the results are analyzed. If the authorities want to read it (either as an individual message or scanning all messages) either they can or you're a criminal. The only difference your "hiding" has is how many CPU cycles it takes them to check.
