In the sense that calling it E2EE gives people a warm fuzzy feeling and makes people send more sensitive information over the platform.

Has anyone actually audited it?

Probably their auditors? Lying about this would be tantamount to (very serious) securities fraud. Not sure what you're basing on your allegations on besides "trust me bro"

Why would lying about having E2EE be securities (as in stock market) fraud? Would that make any lie ever told by a corporation equate to stock market fraud?

Yes! As Matt Levine says, “everything is securities fraud”

So if Microsoft tells me upgrading to windows 11 will make my computer better, you think that's securities fraud?

Did I say that?

Yes. You said everything is securities fraud
