Except this image doesn’t represent E2EE. Maybe that’s the joke and I haven’t read enough TOSes, though.
This is a pretty good illustration of how security measures can go wrong even if they are technically sound. The doors are doing their job of preventing light from passing through. That would be analogous to encryption working "correctly". The mirrors are like if the program also leaks a bunch of data some other way, like by just phoning home and giving the information away deliberately by exploiting bad privacy policies.
I could see de-anonymizing users, but not reading data sent between them.
It's not a perfect analogy, but it does illustrate a point very well I think.
Back and forth, forever.
If there was another memorable line from this movie, I'd be quoting it. The utter genius.
"Of course it's end-to-end encrypted! The ends being your device and their server!"
