It’s hard for me to understand how this can be implemented at all as described by the regulator quotes in the article. The regulators make some pretty strong promises that I just don’t think are possible - “E2E Multigroup messaging across platforms will come soon.” Unless E2E means “Device -> Telegram bridge server which decrypts -> facebook messenger bridge which reencrypts -> facebook messenger client app which decrypts” Then this regulator imagines all “large” messaging companies are either going to maintain separate crypto libraries for each messaging target on the ‘big company’ list, or that they are all going to use the same E2E encryption tech. Both of those ideas are fantasies; not possible in the slightest for a combination of technical and regulatory reasons. If on the other hand, they are imagining that they’ll force large messaging companies to implement non-broken, open APIs for interaction with their messaging services, then I would love that, Apple especially. Actually, WeChat especially, then Apple. It would be a significant change in model for FB and Apple to allow devs in, and a massive change for WeChat.
