You could say that about criminalizing TOR. If you knew that by using TOR you were going to get swatted at 3am you'd probably stop using it. Same goes for encryption. The second any law is passed google/apple are going to pull apps; whatsapp etc are going to remove e2e (or alter it so the UI is the same but it can be snooped on) and criminals are going to have to figure out how to use PGP or whatever.

- victorNicollet 7y agoThis isn't a ban on end-to-end crypto. A company would still be able to use end-to-end crypto, as long as they control one end, which is already the case in ecommerce.
