Not buying the case for the protection of children from the UK, after repeated failures to protect children despite mountains of evidence [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]. Finding pedophiles is relatively easy in the UK, they are one of the single most hated groups and often cited as the reason to bring back capital punishment. Terrorists are already using encrypted chat services such as Telegram to evade intelligence agencies. Encryption has no influence over election meddling. What this is really about is watching the general public. Facebook now blocks content even in private messages. The other day I wanted to share a free-documentary (i.e. fully legal) with a friend and so shared a page with a direct download and magnetic link, which in turn Facebook kindly blocked. Something that is pouted as "safety" is actually just about trying to line the pockets of the film/music industry.
