Yeah man, totally. Pssh imagine not knowing why apps can't do end to end. Ridiculous....

It's an app
It can't encrypt anything so it can't do end to end encryption
If it was an app for a single platform that does end to end encryption, that wouldn't make it an app that does end to end encryption, that would make it an app that does encryption on a platform that does end to end encryption
But it's never even an app for a platform that does end to end encryption
It's always an app for a consumer OS with potential software backdoors running on a wide variety of consumer devices from a wide variety of manufacturers with a wide variety of potential hardware backdoors so there's no assurance of any encryption involved being end to end at all
And none of this is really new information to you
This is just connecting the dots on what some words mean and you already know what those words mean, so you have to think about how it got to this point
I think I see your meaning. Need to mull it over before I reply with something useful.
I agree with you 99.9% that .1 goes to thinking about how we got to this point. That's a debatable that can go on forever we started in the medeval ages with information whisperers knowing people's business has been a thing since the dawn of society. The real thing we need to think about is how do we stop it. Instead of we can't it should begin what code can we use to write a complex safeguard?
Code can't safeguard against the hardware it runs on
No amount of complexity gets around the possibility a device manufacturer can just view visual feeds of the device's cameras and display outputs
We need to teach people more hardware training. I honestly wish someone would teach me hands on. You have no idea how terrified I am to build my own computer because i'm afraid I will put something in place then screw it closed & I will hear SNAP!
Teaching people more is definitely the key to all this 🔑
You might want to try upgrading an old computer for practice before building a new one
