> Introducing intentional, ubiquitous vulnerabilities is also a terrible idea No e2ee app has compromised device part of their threat model. People get ratted all the time on their phones bu criminals. This is the same thing except the gov is nice enough to not look ar everything, just scan for content > Writing a script that comments out the lines of code for such scanning, and that compiles the application from source is trivial. People write E2EE layers on top of existing messaging apps. > One example is OTR plugin for Pidgin/Gaim, another is CryptoCat that at one point had a system that operated on top of Facebook web UI. Doesn't matter. Those apps can be backdoored too. The whole OS can. And the gov doesn't mind playing whack-a-mole. You can disagree with their policy but I disagree with openly collaborating on lying to policy makers on technical facts.
