In retrospect, I should have just copypastaed 😂

**Summary of "MLS: The Naked King of End-to-End Encryption"**

The article critiques the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol, a widely-adopted solution for end-to-end encryption in large groups. The author argues that MLS fails to effectively solve the problem of end-to-end encryption in large groups due to its reliance on a trusted authentication service, which can be compromised by the communication provider.

**Key Points:**

* MLS requires trust in the communication provider, which contradicts the purpose of end-to-end encryption.

* The authentication service in MLS can be compromised, allowing the provider to read messages between members.

* The author suggests that simpler alternatives, such as Signal's approach, are more effective and secure for medium-sized groups.

* MLS's complexity and high development costs make it less practical for widespread adoption.

**Conclusion:**

The author concludes that MLS, despite its adoption by many technology companies, is not a reliable solution for end-to-end encryption in large groups. They recommend considering alternative solutions that prioritize user security and privacy.

Would you like me to elaborate on any of these points?
