As I said, easily fixed by just using secret chats...
Worse things it's that they don't work with group messages and etc. They gave people the choice though. You can use however you feel like it. Basically what you're doing is what Apple does for its users: patronizing. You just think what's great for everyone.
Also, they explain in their FAQs that they don't have the encryption key in the same datacenter, that they have those keys in different datacenters in different jurisdictions so law enforcement can't force them to decrypt the messages.
There is no choice for opting in for E2EE group chats, exccept using another application.
"You just think what's great for everyone."
... Obviously?
"Also, they explain in their FAQs that they don't have the encryption key in the same datacenter"
Ok, explain to me on a technical level how the database encryption of incoming packet is done, (before the packet is committed to the encrypted database), when the key is not located on the RAM of the server? I.e. How does a CPU encrypt data without the key being present on the system?
Is it quantum teleported into the CPU registers from another country?
