I agree with you here. It's not a problem that I think can be solved through legislation.
American law enforcement has proven that it'll collect data in a multitude of ways when needed contextually. They shouldn't be handed additional tools to do so. And I'm not talking about dragnet surveillance, I'm talking about the law creating tons of instances of E2EE getting in the way of "justice", which seems to be an increasingly-common problem, and that in turn being used to rationalize making E2EE illegal like it is in some other places already.
- ke88y 3y agoI agree with your concerns. I'm just a techie with no legal background, but as far as I understand it, KOSA enforcement would be done by the FTC and state AGs via civil suits against companies. It's not a criminal matter, so law enforcement agencies wouldn't be involved, except in the normal ways law enforcement can become involved in civil cases.
