Can someone please explain why we are against even the smallest reduction in End-to-end encryption by a single vendor you can avoid using (iCloud) but then talk about cryptocurrencies, for example, as "enabling black markets and economies".
Don't you see that it's two sides of the same coin, and end-to-end encryption can easily enable any sort of privacy coins and anonymity? We as advocates need a consistent position, otherwise we just have a gaping double standard.
If you're worried about anonymous transactions in crypto, because they can lead to, say, money laundering or financing terrorism, why are you not worried about end-to-end encrypted communication by those same terrorists?
