What do you think ssl does?
- const_cast 1y agoNot that. SSL is just transport-layer encryption, once the information is on the server it's plaintext. Everything uses SSL or, more accurately, TLS. Very few things are E2EE. Consider Signal - is Signal equivalent to Whatsapp because Whatsapp using TLS? Of course not. If you have data in plaintext on a server, you should always assume that data lives forever. You might be wrong sometimes, rarely. But usually it does live forever. Most delete buttons don't even actually delete anything.
