Like, there's a lot of people freaking out about Apple ending End to End encryption in iCloud in UK. I'm just like: So What? It was probably backdoored from the beginning

So is Big Tech's E2E actually not backdoored? Or is that just a PR stunt to trick people into trusting iCloud, and this is a secret honeypot? 🤔

What are your thoughts?

Well if you secure your end point and your counterparty secures their end point, ie you are not running stock android or apple.

I would assume communication is secure. but yeah e2ee is useless when google has admin rights on your phone...
