Right but my point is there is nothing surprising or groundbreaking about the the fact that the journalist received the survey and that it contained the information that it contained, but media coverage of this is treating it like there was some shocking breach or cooperation with a foreign power when really it's quite a mundane situation by all accounts. The shocking revelation should be that journalists who normally are so careful they use end-to-end client-side encryption for their communications are using third party transcription services that have full access to their sensitive interviews. That's a faux pas and critical security blunder on the journalist's part, not otter's, though one learning here is maybe otter should consider offering some sort of secure enclave service for situations like this with additional guarantees and client-controlled encryption keys.
