What is especially insane is people STILL praise Apple for championing "privacy" - after Snowden, after China, after Trump ... the well-engineered sunk-cost fallacy is just too potent to resist, I guess.

Magical end to end protection in Meta and Apple (chat) software to protect you from… whom exactly?
MAYBE non US governments? They probably have deals with all the big governments allowing them to spy on their own people at least.
"End to end" protection/encryption has lost all functional meaning when the masses accepted corporations as the arbiters of "ends". No one can even respond to the argument based on technical merit, because all that remains is hollow marketing bullshit.
