I meant security/privacy from the company in question. Jio.

e2ee in JioChat was just not even implemented. They just copied whatsapp.

That's kind of bad, but I think that for regular users, it's a non-feature. They don't care. They only care about traffic not being snooped in along the way. They will trust the messenger company.

I'd imagine JioChat is encrypted in transit, isn't it?

Yes. I think. I have not downloaded and used it.

The reason e2ee is necessary in india is people share all things online. Especially in chat. Passports, certificates, health related stuff. We are very open online.

For example, here is a guy publishing his goverentment issued caste certificate. On twitter. https://twitter.com/BhainsdehiWale/status/118002364906923212...

They do not know that anybody can see that photo. They don't know encryption,privacy and stuff. Internet is 1-2 years old here (for the masses)
