Edit 2: According to the child comment this was just a TIL blog post. Thanks for the clarity.

Original comment:

I was prepared for a story time about a legal issue Ente is facing, and since they don’t mention one I now have more questions than I started with.

Are they the recipient of an estoppel order? In the process of issuing them? Are there implications we should hear about but don’t? Or is this all just for fun, like “it was lunch and learn legalese day” at HQ?

I’m not familiar with this company, but seeing as how they provide E2E encrypted photo backups at a time where law enforcement is globally maneuvering to end such things has me wondering if maybe something more happening. Which saddens me since I’m now interested in the product…

Edit 1: rereading this comment I feel like it’s a bit cynical, so i removed some speculative remarks. Strange topic to get your product mentioned on the HN front page, but I suppose it worked!

I'm probably extrapolating a lot from very little, but here's my take:

> It was legal day today at ente

I took this to mean that they regularly meet with their legal team, not for a specific purpose, but just to touch base and catch up on anything that may useful to have council's eyes review (read: informal meeting with legal team). Estoppel could have come up any number of ways, talking about contracts and their enforcement, someone asked a question that naturally veered into that territory, etc.

It sounds like they're involved in something legal that concerns estoppel.

Someone promised or mentioned something that someone acted upon, and now it has changed.

Nothing like that! This is just a genuine TIL post :)
