The ridiculous thing is that encryption is so trivial, any criminal can implement it with a few lines of code and can keep their key entirely private, known only to them and whoever they decide.
No reasonable person wants kids to be abused, but trading the privacy and security of an entire planet to make it easier for law enforcement to catch a few criminals is not reasonable either.
- tinglymintyfrsh 4y agoLaw enforce can get wiretaps for call content and conversations on traditional media. What's frightening without e2ee is the possibility of governments targeting people with secret mass surveillance orders searching for particular keywords at any point in the future. It's better to not store content or metadata in a way that puts users at risk. Lock it up. Intelligence and law enforcement will need to use traditional techniques rather than have backdoors into every corner of every system, because we know those were never abused. ;-]
