In addition to this, they've also locked the ability for users to vote for this feature so even if you do sign in, you can't vote for end to end encryption to be implemented.

According to the article, users can opt-in to end-to-end encryption, so it's not true that this is "out of our control".

Sadly this doesn't work with end-to-end encryption enabled.

I don't see anything in their site about end to encryption?

End to end encryption is not a feature most regular users even understand, let alone want.

According to the article, they don't yet have end-to-end encryption yet. It's still under development.

Doesn’t help if people are using end-to-end encryption.

No end to end encryption is deal breaker for most.

Ctd2xUvMAicg | karma 3 | avg karma 0.75 · | 2020-04-02 05:00:44+00:00

It says "connection is encrypted" in the current version. No mention of end-to-end whatsoever.

of course they don't want end-to-end encryption because then they won't be able to look at your data...

>One other major downside of end-to-end encryption: everything has to be done client-side, and the server becomes very close to a dumb pipe and block storage.

That sounds like a feature...

no end to end encryption?

phkahler | karma 20899 | avg karma 2.69 · | 2019-05-28 19:26:03+00:00

And they really dont want anyone using good end to end e encryption for the same reason ;-)

lostmsu | karma 5641 | avg karma 1.11 · | 2018-11-16 04:23:42+00:00

Not having end to end encryption is sad.

opencl | karma 4153 | avg karma 3.59 · | 2019-08-10 16:30:55+00:00

That seems to completely defeat the point of it being end to end encrypted in the first place.

prophesi | karma 2376 | avg karma 2.23 · | 2020-04-02 11:00:22

It wouldn't be controversial if they explicitly stated that, and took "End-to-end encryption for all meetings" off of their features page.

Gigachad | karma 15126 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2021-12-31 06:24:58

End to end encryption seems like an endless pain in the ass. So many expected features like server side searching and link embeds become basically impossible to do in a secure way.

whitetrump | karma 1 | avg karma 0.25 · | 2021-09-10 17:30:11

End-to-end encryption should mean that the cloud provider doesn't have access to the key to decrypt the data.

cbsmith | karma 4783 | avg karma 1.38 · | 2021-01-19 18:31:53

That kind of doesn't work if you have end-to-end encryption turned on.
