But if they have access to the content in that way, they will be retaining it or manipulating it in some retainable way, the fruits of which are automatically up for grabs via legal request/warrant.
The moment it becomes plaintext for them or they have any access to non-ciphertext, its fair game for the governement. The whole point of this (or at least part of it) is to avoid a repeat of the mother/daughter abortion" conspiracy" that has already caused them a lot of problems and even less trust than previously. And it was super predictable.
They claim E2EE. No third party breaks it. Law enforcement is appeased.
But their closed-source app could still be analyzing the messages before encrypting. We wouldn’t know, because it’s closed source.
They could still argue it’s E2EE, as it was encrypted on one end and decrypted on the other.
