> your data is your data and the server knows nothing because it is just trying to deliver encrypted events on behalf of other people Yes I'm sure that is the feature on paper. There's no way to know (unless there's a leak or something) but I'm willing to bet this isn't really the case and there are backdoor keys to this encryption, if anything to comply with whatever government wants, as has been the case with Apple and iPhone encryption in the past already. The email model was just an example of how, in my opinion, it should be simple and straight forward. We're just talking about people sending text to other people, just like email. The only difference is on the client side, so how fast it happens and what kind of interface is presented with features to interact with the data. Ideally like owning your own email server, you would control not just the interface but the database with the data as well. This could mean some redundant messaging if the other server decides to send it again, but that isn't really a problem.
