DAY009: DISCOVERING PRIVACY PT04
May 18, 2025•457 words
hi everyone, welcome to another daily blog of #the121, and yeah again, off-time writing, sry, lets continue my privacy series
..., so u know i was an tech-guy so i was got distracted by it a lot, so i wanted to check what is it actually, i wanted to know what e2ee (end to end encryption) really is and why is that even matter
so yeah, i done a quick google search to find out about it, ik most of the people who reading this on listed.to already know it, but heres an quick definition
e2ee or end to end encrytion is a method of sending files or chats or medias, basically any type of infos, but in such a way that no middle man can acess or view it in the way of sending from one client to another or storing and later accessing
how it works is pretty simple, the service that use e2ee just encrypts datas before sending through servers, by encrypting it means password protecting a data
like say there is one phrase "my name is ly", and converting it into "jdhcjxbzjnzixbhjxkzjjhg" before sending it to servers then after receiving it on other clients device and the decrypting it into original phrase the way reciver can understand it, and in the way of sending if someone or the company access it, they cant see what is the phrase is actually, so its completely waste of time and money accessing that encrypted data, in this way only sender and reciver can understand that data, nobody else can do nothing with it
different privacy focused companies have different ways of encrytion, some well known and popular high security featured encryption method also exits, which are verified and certified by big privacy enthusiasts, u can find more info on web or i'll tell more about this on blogs in future
so after getting to know e2ee, i got curious, why even i need this, and why even my data matters this much, and i thought big tech companies like google, microsoft, meta wont do such things with my data, i was in this disbelief that those companies respects our privacy, so they wont such as horrible things right
i was the biggest stupid untill that day, and my all trust got broken after i found out about those companies policy, they sell our data, views our data, as much they need, for our good, no, to make profit by showing us and making buy us products that we don't even needed untill that day...
so yeah, signing off again, see u tomorrow, if u have any questions or any discussion or just simple conversation, u can always connect me on my socials
have a better life...
