offering me end-to-end encrypted chat

No one - not even X - can access or read your messages

This key is then stored on X’s servers

So...they're just blatantly lying?

Right, they have the key, and the lock, but the key isn't in the lock, so it's utterly impossible for them to access it.

Typical corpo doublespeak

It's encrypted with a 4 digit pin so they'll have to spend at least 316.8809e-10 years on brute-forcing it.

That's why my PIN is 5 digits: 12345

One. Two. Three. Four. Five?

That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.

No - did you even read the article? An x employee confirmed that they’re using the “special” servers to store the keys that mean that they cannot see them. The author then says that the employee confirming it doesn’t mean they do, because the author doesn’t want it to be true.
