E2E encryption means only the sender and recipient should be able to access a message.

[–] RmDebArc_5@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, but it’s very hard/impossible to verify if something is e2e or just encrypted. Personally I wouldn’t be surprised if meta had access to the encryption keys

they do, ever since Signal blew up companies started lying about E2EE left and right

[–] dsemy@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's why the comment you initially replied to cast doubt on whether the chats are actually E2E encrypted.
