End-to-End Encryption: What It Does and Doesn't Protect
Original: From the archive: What End-to-End Encryption Actually Protects (and Doesn't) A plain-language look at end-to-end encrypt
A plain-language explainer of end-to-end encryption is recirculating, reminding readers that while it locks message content from providers and interceptors, it does not cover everything. Metadata, unencrypted cloud backups, and compromised devices can still expose communications. Security commentators are sharing it as a refresher on common misconceptions about how protected messaging apps really are.
Why now: Recurring public confusion about encryption limits keeps explainers like this in circulation among security and privacy communities.
