What are you talking about?
Facebook already offers E2E encrypted chats (both in Messenger and WhatsApp). Offering broadcast communication (such as public posts) pretty much flies in the face of offering E2E encryption (the author wants a large group of people to see what they wrote, not have to enumerate everyone who is allowed to see it).
Governments generally don't care about controlling content of messaging, they care about the wide spread of information (accurate or not).

The last decade has set government expectations that they can lean on web corporations, and confirmed their expectation that the Internet is censorable. That's what I mean by decade(s) of priming. > the author wants a large group of people to see what they wrote, not have to enumerate everyone who is allowed to see it Good thing we have these diligent things called computers. It's not hard to imagine friend/group membership as being a read cap(ability). > Governments generally don't care about controlling content of messaging, they care about the wide spread of information (accurate or not). Erm, what do you mean by this? Governments do care that their own message gets spread far and wide, while also panicking over competing ("inaccurate") messages being spread. How is this not caring about the content?
- peoplewindow 9y agoYou make it sound like end to end encryption is some trivial thing you just switch on or off according to personal preferences. It's very, very far from that. Even today Facebook/WhatsApp's e2e encryption is essentially theatre; they can disable it at any time for any people and nobody would be any the wiser.
