📌 End-to-end encryption doesn’t protect everything you think it does. It secures content in transit, but not metadata, backups, logins, or account access.

Whether you’re a user or a business leader, understanding this gap between privacy marketing and technical reality matters.

“End-to-End Encrypted” Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means

Why consumers misunderstand it, why businesses misuse it, and why that gap keeps growing.

AI adoption often stops the moment GDPR enters the conversation.
Local models, client approval, and limited code access make real world usage messy.
I will talk about what actually works and what does not in a live session (with @brunoborges).

Uds son muy jóvenes, pero desde fines de 2022 venimos avisando de los problemas de la IAG y pidiendo que se PROHÍBAN los servicios comerciales de IA generativa. Nos han dicho de todo. La UNASCO se reía mientras nos decía «ilusos, ingenuos y rebeldes extremistas». Las autoridades (del país que elijan) nos decían que «¡NOOO! ¡esa palabra no se dice en voz alta! ¡Sacrílegos! ¡Herejes! ¡Profanadores de la innovación!»

Ah pero...
¿Cómo dijo? 🤡

@IainMac9 the sheer fact that the #USA demands such #cyberfascism is the problem.

Would they've greenlit the same demands from #Russia, "P.R." #China, #NorthKorea, #India, #KSA or the #EU?

If not, then why would they do so for the #US???
