No, because it's terrible. There's no need to break encryption to allow you to report a user. You'd just report via a copy of an excerpt of the conversation and leave the rest of your communication private. If the user can't tamper with the extraction of that excerpt, you can trust it is correct. You could even extract hashes from both the reporting party and the reported party and compare them with zero knowledge of the actual conversation.
More sophisticated HNers can chime in with zero-knowledge proofs and whatnot to show that their argument is DOA.
- fragmede 6mo agoYou have you contrive a complex system involving zero knowledge proofs and a lot more work, rather than just being able to see on the server the message asking for a child to dance in their underwear directly makes their argument DoA?
- airstrike 6mo agoHashing a handful of strings and comparing them is incredibly simple. Not sure where you think the complexity lies. It is in fact so trivial I'm confident Claude Code can one-shot this. But I'll humor the notion and say that, yes, I'd rather not let them see me dancing in my underwear unless I've explicitly decided to share it.
- aucisson_masque 6mo agoIt's pretty easy to do tho and it has the benefits of both allowing privacy and being able to check if someone is actually trying to abuse kids. No e2e is understandable if you're the Chinese government but isn't TikTok now run by a us company (at least in America) ?
