Does anyone genuinely believe that it was true e2ee? It’s Facebook. There is NO WAY they didn’t have a man-in-the-middle backdoor.
Yes, I do, but you don't need a man in the middle when you also hold the decryption keys (on both ends). E2EE is useful in case you get hacked, since unless they get the whole system, a copy of the data at rest would be encrypted.
