    That’s not how encryption works. But you’re not wrong about it being owned by meta being a problem. There’s more info in a message than just the contents.

      you say that but they’re already thinking a step ahead and assuming meta left a backdoor or CVE at the behest of 3-letter agencies.

      What’s facebook’s business plan? Right, surveillance capitalism.

        IIRC whatsapp’s automatic backups are stored in cloud and unencrypted by default. So it takes only one person in the group chat who has backups enabled (pop up reminds periodically if not) and no password is set (not required, takes effort and will to set) to leak everyone’s messages.

        I assume no encryption is safe from three letter gangs, at this point I’m only concerned with keeping grubby corporate fingers at bay.
