Huh, right.. so this makes it all even more confusing.

Are they saying that WHEN they implement true e2e encryption, it will only be for paid accounts?

Or are they saying the encryption they've already got, which they are inaccurately calling "e2e" when it is not, was formerly enabled for free accounts, but no longer will be?

Or something else?

(Who would have thunk that lying and calling something "e2e" that wasn't would end up confusing!)

I also still don't understand if you get the encryption (whichever one they are disabling for free accounts) if the 'host' is a paid account but some/all of guests are not...
