Especially considering this part of the indictment:
> ... on March 10, 2021, Europol announced that judicial and law enforcement authorities in Belgium, France and the Netherlands had wiretapped Sky Global’s servers and monitored hundreds of millions of messages by Sky Global’s users. The European investigation resulted in hundreds of arrests, the seizure of thousands of kilograms of cocaine and methamphetamine, hundreds of firearms, and millions of Euros.
- sbarre 6y agoThat refers to the activities of the customers though, not the company itself. If it's end-to-end encrypted, then in theory the company is unaware of the content of the messages. That said, this feels like governments basically saying that even if you sell a service that is _technically_ legal, if the majority of your customers are using it for criminal activity, you're also going down.
