Systems designed around direct messaging that don’t have e2ee should not be used; otherwise you normalize surveillance.
- denysvitali 2y agoI would expect a public chat with 1k+ users to be considered public. Even when E2E encrypted, it just takes one person out of those 1k to leak the whole content - so what's the point? I too advocate for privacy, but for public discussions E2E encryption would make sense only as a mean of certification (person holding the key really wrote the message)
