Isn't this a red herrring? I thought the law didn't require the removal of E2E encryption, but rather mandated the addition of a back door that submits some kind of meta data summary to a third party service?

Is that better? The effect is the same.

I think they meant to say that this is just a PR stunt by saying they won't remove encryption (because they don't even need to to comply)

That depends entirely upon who gets to define "End-to-end", and whether they are held to task for any inaccuracies in that definition

[FalconSensei]

is it truly E2E encryption if it has a backdoor?

[m463]

whatsapp has that.
