Wouldn't it be better to not record them in the first place instead of encrypting them?

its collaborative. the data needs to be sent somewhere, its going to be recorded somewhere

ie, you get to see your partners activity

Well clicks and keystrokes are kind of important when you're working with a text editor with a graphical user interface. These actions have to be sent somewhere.

The team states on reddit:

By cursor movements we don't mean mouse movement, but only the typing indicator. Mouse movement is not recorded. It is only shown when you choose to collaborate with someone by sharing access to view or edit the document to make the collaboration possible. Moreover, the contents of your documents including these movements, comments, and replies are end-to-end encrypted, so that no one, not even Proton, can see the contents of your documents.

@Nelizea @BlemboTheThird How can a Proton Team be on Reddit? They mustn't be using their VPN for their Reddit account.

I've been unable to get into my own Reddit account because [insert every known VPN here] has been blocked by Reddit....

I am on reddit only with Proton VPN connected, using swiss servers.
