Well, backdoor for "good actors" is always a backdoor for everyone

Not like all the privacy groups were shouting that since ever...

Edit: and how can this still be regarded as E2E, when it's obviously not?

"But end-to-end encryption over texts between Apple devices and Android devices, for instance, aren’t encrypted in the same way, meaning they were vulnerable to interception by Salt Typhoon, according to the Times."

What is it I don't understand here?
If it's E2E, then nobody could intercept my messages in a meaningful way.
How is this still possible, when messages went from iOS to Android - or the other way round?
At least Signal still holds strong, disregarding the OS

I feel E2E has become a marketing term and companies don't hold the promise e.g. "it's E2E but one end is your device and the other end is my server"

Well, that would be really shit and wrong marketing

Hopefully you're wrong and this doesn't take hold :⁠-⁠\

Sounds like normal SMS texting or unencrypted RCS messaging between iOS and Android phones rather than E2EE

Thanks!

Never had a RCS conversation and didn't really look into it.
Do you're probably right, that it's about that.
