> What is the benefit of end to end encryption in this scenario?
Let's say I'm talking to my bank. Is there really any information that you want open? They're going to ask you security questions to confirm your identity. You're likely talking about specific sums of money.
Let's say you're talking to your doctor. Is there really any information that you want open? Are you violating HIPPA and privacy laws just by talking? Your health is of no concern to anyone but you and your health provider. Full stop.
I mean, they use these two examples in the post. The use case is pretty clear to me here. The risk isn't your service provider spying on you, it is anyone that you aren't intending to talk to. A hacker (who may be interested in your bank or health care). A state actor. Abusive ex. Data companies that extract every bit of information they can. Or politicians who want to track your period. Maybe this isn't useful when I'm submitting tickets to wandb, but I can see this being very helpful when I'm talking to my bank.
