I assume their goal is to turn on E2E for what gets stored on their servers.
Right now, they have to hand over anyone’s photo library if they are ordered to do so.
If they turn on E2E that will no longer be possible, and this will be strictly better and harder to abuse.
That doesn’t mean this mechanism isn’t offensive. It just is better from a privacy point of view for them to do this and enable E2E.
- willis936 5y agoNotice how they haven't done that though. It would be trivial to do. Just change all of the private keys to ones supplied by the clients. But they haven't done that. Why would you expect them to do that when they are taking steps away from individual privacy? Leaving a hypothetical option on the table that costs them nothing to do means they actively do not want to do it. So why would they do it?
