      @mshelton to be fair, you can still implement E2EE on the actual content, while collecting all the juicy metadata around it unencrypted and undisturbed.

      If authorities need to know if you contacted a certain person around a certain time, or if you are a member of a given group, then the metadata is more than enough.
