This entire presentation from Flock shows that communities need to be prepared for this slick PR doublespeak from these ghouls.
Flock's claim of using "end-to-end encryption" is not true in the strict cybersecurity definition of the word. They are making that claim in a looser marketing sense of the data is encrypted in transit and at storage (point A to point B), but they still retain the keys to access that data themselves. This means they have the technical ability to turn it over to 3rd parties without communities being able to stop it, even if they *promise* they won't.
True end-to-end encryption prevents even the service provider from accessing the data. That is not what is happening with Flock.
Earlier in this SAME presentation they claimed there are "no hidden backdoors in the system". I guess that is technically true if they state plainly that they have full access to our data and train their AI with it?
