If they have the ability to decrypt data on their server anytime they want then this whole thing seems utterly pointless. I sincerely hope that's not the case.

- dce 15y agoSorry for being flippant. I'm just having a hard time imagining how I could post something that you could read that's somehow unreadable to them.
- bo1024 15y agoThat's the entire point of the service being discussed, no?
- buro9 15y agoDefine "them". If "them" = Facebook or Twitter... it's true, they could not read the text. But if "them" = the service provider of the encrypted messages, well, I suspect that they can decrypt from their description. Which means that they can be compelled to decrypt, or that a member of staff could access the decrypted message... in which case we only have an illusion of privacy because it only gives us privacy from some parties and not others.
