Does MLS encrypt or obfuscate metadata? End-to-end encryption really only provides value if it is impossible to be able to use the communication’s metadata to deduce the purpose, origin, and destination of the message.
It does encrypt some of the metadata, but a full audit of the servers and clients would reveal how effective it is. I do share the same concerns you have though.
That’s interesting that some of the metadata does get encrypted. I hope enough of it so that it makes it more difficult for an authoritarian government agency to draw conclusions from.
