gollark: One proposal for backdooring encrypted messaging stuff was to have a way to remotely add extra participants invisibly to an E2Ed conversation. If you have that but without the "invisible" bit, that would work as "encryption with a backdoor, but then make it very obvious that the backdoor has been used" somewhat.
