    Yeah, see my edit.

    Before the edit, I just meant the technicality itself: is it actually encrypted or is it plain text? This would have mattered if the state intercepted the message somehow, spying on their citizens. But apparently they did not, because snapchat leaked the data to them in a semi-automated manner: auto-generated incident report based on filtering gets escalated to authorities.

      No matter what it was this is just a reminder to use Foss encrypted chats that have been validated by at least one security audit.
