   @lumi@snug.moe For some they seem to heavily focus on E2E like that is some sort of endgoal.
   
   Personally I see E2E encryption as a bandaid fix for platforms you don't trust.
   
   Consider you're talking to a friend through a server that you trust, you no longer need E2E encryption. Regular server-client encryption is good enough at that point.

     i'm happy people talk about privacy more and value end-to-end encryption more these days
     
     but there is a much bigger and more fundamental issue, which is one of autonomy: are you actually in control of the software and services you use?
     
     on a proprietary and/or centralized service, the answer is no, and you can't count on it being private or secure anymore. the power dynamics involved make it not possible to count on it
