@not2b @Tutanota Haha, end to end does mean what it says, you encrypt, receiver decrypt. But if someone has your keys, they can decrypt as well. And yes facebook has those keys on their servers and they likely have access to those keys. I remember how people were surprised that facebook ads showed stuff they mentioned only on whatsapp. I do use Signal. I wouldn't trust Facebook, or any of big tech company for that matter.

@dieTasse @Tutanota That isn't how end to end encryption works. A key is generated on each device. It is public key encryption. The private key never leaves your device. Signal and WhatsApp use the same technology.

@not2b @Tutanota feel free to blindly trust Zug, its your call. Until you show me the WA code I will assume they have access to any account (again how do you think the advertisements can get targeted with things said on WA?)

@dieTasse @Tutanota Oh, I don't trust him. They collect metadata, for instance (who is talking to whom). When a message is flagged as abusive it is sent to moderators (similarly if you send someone a Signal message they can forward it to the cops). But no, I don't believe you get ads because of things you said on WA.

@not2b @Tutanota you don't trust him yet at the same time you say you trust the conversations are not misused. Anyway trust/believe is all you have my friend.
