Asking the real questions here. It’s not like e2e is about to be rolled out, pgp existed for decades

[-] Womble@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

What they are concered with is e2ee moving from just being for nerds and people who really want to keep secrets (organised crime etc) and expanding to the general population though mainstream messaging apps.

WhatsApp already has e2e. It’s the most popular app ever, what’s left there to roll out? Signal is e2e, telegram is e2e-able, protonmail is already famous, etc etc.

Facebook Messenger. After WhatsApp and WeChat, the third largest one in term of active monthly users apparently.
