How does end to end encryption make that better?

I am genuinely curious. Is your threat model too severe that you really need to hide your conversations?

I don’t want to discuss the reasons for encrypted communication, sorry. Citizenfour was a good movie though.
Why is this utterly stupid question coming up again and again? Go ask your peers/yourself why feel the need to share all of your conversations with the government and other 3rd parties who in the best case just want to sell you shit.
Could you please "open source" all your conversations to provide ground for reasoning "I have nothing to hide".

So, and we can discuss threat models.

Thank you.

I don't mind; in public groups its for everyone to see.

Snooping by the government or by the corporations? Which one is more insidious?

I would prefer to have none, hence e2e encryption.
High expectations of privacy. I prefer to hide everything, even mundane stuff, than wished I had and I didn't.
