I'm so torn on this.
I 100% support and demand E2E encryption be legal and available for anyone to use whenever they want to.
On the other hand, I also completely agree with the need to fix Section 230. The stories I've heard about providers essentially turning a blind eye to taking down things like revenge porn after victims have won in court is a huge problem. There's an entire Darknet Diaries episode on Kik that goes into just how bad the problem really is.
Want to smear somebody? Just post a business review on Google or Yelp. The person and the business will be fairly helpless to get it taken down. One place I worked years ago saw a review posted about the business accusing one of the Director's of an affair. The review remained up for over 6 months because of the complete lack of accountability.
Something absolutely has to be done to combat that type of harassment because it's slanted way to far in favor of the harassers right now. If service providers have no responsibility to take this stuff down it's never going to get any better.
