Backdoors make it "technically feasible" to scan "e2ee". See, it's all a matter of perspective.
Fucking doublespeak (not you). If you can scan it then it isn’t e2ee. Words mean things. E2ee means that the two parties are the only two who can read the message. If there is a way to do any analysis on the message at all then it isn’t e2ee.
But they're not mandating such backdoors it seems.
