I've become so cynical that my first thought was "I guess they found a way to create the illusion of full encryption while really having secret access to the unencrypted data".

me too ...

I felt the same for WhatsApp backups on Google Drive, which are addressed in the article. I thought FB was advertising an encryption while letting some obvious backdoor for the NSA.

But the backups are encrypted, according to co-workers and to that post. Maybe I should enable backups now.
