The idea isn't to break encryption, it's to have apps implement client-side scanning "pre-encryption".

- stephen_g 1y agoYes, what is proposed is breaking the end-to-end security model, not breaking the encryption itself. Effectively it causes the same loss of security and trust as if they broke the encryption, but it allows them the fig-leaf of pretending that you're still secure because they "haven't broken the encryption".
- rkomorn 1y agoI like your wording. I wasn't expressing an opinion in that comment but I do find the whole concept terrible.
