This bill has problems but it's not really about E2EE. It's targeting public distribution which isn't encrypted.

- hellojesus 2y agoE2e opens a bit of a problem for reporting the issue though, no? Only those that can decrypt messages can report them, and if the message isn't hosted on a server but merely routed through one in ciphertext, there's not much the company needs to do because they don't host the content anyway.
