    Also happened on airline WiFi presumably and I would guess that saying terrorist sounding shit over unencrypted channels on that sort of network is dumb as shit.

      Is Snapchat not encrypted at all? If it’s encrypted between the phone and the server then it must have been intercepted at the server end, either by Snapchat or by the intelligence services. Or on the phone before encryption, by the OS, keyboard, or Snapchat app.

          But arent client to server and end to end different? It sounded like he was talking about client to server like HTTPS or some such.

      Thats not how that works. Even tho snapchat messages might not be e2ee they are still client to server encrypted. The operator of a wifi network can never see your message content, only which services you are using.
