It's also what the article omits... Yes, "the authority" that made the E2E software can screw you over, sure, but that's where it ends. There are good reasons for E2E encryption beyond doing shady shit or messing with goverments. E2E solves an entire class of server-side security and personnel issues. Some moderator type of person browsing your nudes? Not possible. Hackers stealing data from the server? You don't care, they can't decrypt it.
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoI completely agree. It's completely valid to say that E2E cannot protect you from the provider of the cryptographic software. It also fails if the end points themselves are compromised. There is still tremendous value in being protected from absolutely everyone else.
