Whew, that’s gonna open up a lot or capital so these companies can finally pay other employees fair wages. Right?.. Right?!

I don’t think USians should fight this.

As pear shaped as the UK may be at the moment, it must be better off than all the nonsense in the US. Though there really is nothing in it for the Commonwealth, in any event.

Love the meme, but also, let’s not pretend that Joe Rogan isn’t just a propagandandistic shill. If he were all of a sudden making such claims on his show, it might be different. Haven’t seen it.

You are suggesting that “end-to-end” is some kind of legally codified phrase. It just isn’t. If Google were to steal data from a system claiming to be end-to-end encrypted, no one would be surprised.

I think your point is: if that were the case, the messages wouldn’t have been end-to-end encrypted, by definition. Which is fine. I’m saying we shouldn’t trust a giant corporation making money off of selling personal data that it actually is end-to-end encrypted.

By the same token, don’t trust Microsoft when they say Windows is secure.

It’s probably also good practice to assume that not all encrypted apps are created equal, too. Google’s RCS messaging, for example, says “end-to-end encrypted”, which sounds like it would be a direct and equal competitor to something like Signal. But Google regularly makes money off of your personal data. It does not behoove a company like Google to protect your data.

Start assuming every corporation is evil. At worst you lose some time getting educated on options.
