I agree in general with your comment, but what I don't like is anyone (Haugen, you or anyone else) speaking for "the tech community". We all have different opinions, and you can't generalize with that.
For example, plenty of people I know including myself would be strongly against less encryption, but strongly for more government control of tech companies (not via less encryption but via other means).
It's really hard to generalize, and in this case we gain nothing by generalizing so let's do it less, not more.

But that’s not what Haughen is lobbying for. She’s explicitly saying that end-to-end encryption is bad because it doesn’t allow Facebook to monitor private communications enough. I’d be surprised if you could find more than a tiny minority in the tech communicate who agree with this.
- capableweb 5y agoI understand that, that's why I expressed that I don't like them expressing it as something the "tech community" wants...
