> End-to-end encryption is a system of communication where the only people who can read the messages are the people communicating.
That is not a technical explanation.
We can still have encryption on both ends of a communication, and at the same time have suspects using two keys instead of one to encrypt. We can encrypt a message for multiple users with GPG, why couldn't we here? As far as I understand E2EE still works, except that users suspected of a felony would also have the state key in their encryption, that doesn't mean removing other keys!! Which we should definitely not do because we do not want to compromise the privacy of innocent people!!
Technical or not it does not matter. It is clear and specific. If you encrypt the messages for someone else too (or if you leak the keys) it is not end-to-end encrypted.
"and at the same time have suspects using two keys instead of one to encrypt"
And regular citizens.
"except that users suspected of a felony would also have the state key in their encryption"
And regular citizens :)
Anyway, in that case it is not end-to-end encrypted because the state is not one of the people communicating.
