End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is essential for protecting privacy, ensuring secure communication, and safeguarding sensitive data from hackers, and malicious actors. It prevents unauthorized access by ensuring only the sender and intended recipient can read messages, which is crucial for journalists, activists, businesses, and everyday users.
