>The funny thing about all of this is that when you really think about it, this is already starting to take hold in various aspects of our daily lives. So if you look at things like messaging systems, in terms of people communicating via text messages, and you think ten or fifteen years into the past, you’ll see that ten or fifteen years ago nobody really cared very much about the security or privacy of their messages, they would just send unencrypted messages about any number of topics, you know, risky topics, bad topics, good topics, but nobody really knew what end-to-end encryption was for messages. Now fast forward ten or fifteen years in the future, and all of us know what end-to-end encrypted messaging is and the average consumer out on the street also knows what it is, after over six billion encrypted messaging app downloads. The reason for that is the systems that provided messaging capabilities basically lost the trust and lost the trust relationship with their users, mainly all of you. And they lost that trust relationship by misusing the information you sent through their systems, by selling it to others and by manipulating it for their own purposes. This is a trust relationship problem we’re all familiar with, and that we’ve all made a decision to solve by switching to systems that are cryptographically guaranteed. This is really what end-to-end encryption is for messaging, it’s a cryptographically guaranteed version of messaging that doesn’t rely on brands or institutions making you promises, but relying on mathematics enforcing the relationships that you wanna have with the messaging system.
