How is https communication not end to end encrypted? And what’s the difference between subpoenaing a server vs an end user? The server is just another person/organization.
Edit: Re-reading this I guess you mean that having a centra server acting as a middle man would probably not be end to end which I agree with. I thought you meant user <—-> server wasn’t end to end.

- woodruffw 5y agoA typical example is a chat application served over HTTPS: your communication with the server is encrypted, but the messages sent between you and your friends are passed through the server in the clear (through databases, logging, caching layers, etc.).
