Breaking news! It's now raining cats and dogs! No . . . wait, Google is just planning to implement E2EE. I just thought the former occurrence was more likely than that latter. Yeah, so google is now implementing E2EE. That's a surprising bonus for the privacy committee. What do you all think, you think this is actually a step forward or will it just be a repeat of apple's "E2EE"

Seeing it's only for paying enterprise accounts it makes way more sense. Average users will not have access to encryption, only business accounts. Google doesn't want the liability of knowing their discussions so it's all just marketing BS right now unfortunately.
