I've come to believe much of the debate on end-to-end encryption misses the point. The problem isn't people listening in as you talk, but the permanent and ineradicable trail those conversations leave. Unencrypted DM's would be fine for 99% of people if we *knew* they'd disappear

The whole reason for having to use an elaborate apparatus of decoder rings is that the only way to ensure something is deleted (or even deletable) is to have the whole Rube Goldberg apparatus of modern encryption wheeled out onto our devices by paranoid utopian nerds

Encrypted DMs would be nice. Even Facebook has this, I believe.

Move those conversations to your mind and don’t ask Apple to create backdoors to iOS because “the war on you name it”.

Why isn’t that also true for Signal?
-
Because it’s E2E encrypted. Signal employees can’t read the messages. Heck, they could host the database on a publicly accessible storage, but only key holders (ppl in conversations) can read them — unless key leakage occurs
