    Yeah, but what about the other user who’s texting a sunbird client and thinks everything is E2E encrypted?

      Security and privacy minded people dont use iMessage and not even an iPhone. The ecosystem is so close that you don’t know what’s going on behind just Apple.

        Do you have anything substantive to say around E2EE encryption on iMessage?

        The whole point of E2EE is so that a middle man, including the Apple, cannot read it. Apple has been very publicly opposed to providing encryption backdoors that could be accessed by Apple, law enforcement, etc. Backdoors usually get sniffed out and become widespread security vulnerabilities.

            That’s not how E2EE works. If they did have a back door, that would eventually get exploited and we’d all learn about it.
