It's sad because obviously banning E2EE will make pretty much zero difference in keeping children safe. Pedofiles and abusers will just install E2EE apps manually or use one of the zillion systems to send E2EE messages. As an example,

It was a mistake to throw away the tag. They could've used it (together with police, perhaps) to track down the offender.

Sure I hate ads as well, but Brave's proposal is just making it worse. It's like a different incarnation of Facebook.

Brave promotes a toxic business model centered in killing off internet's advertisement and providing their own in house solution. This is very bad for guaranteeing a healthy competition on the market, it creates an enormous walled gard

In Europe (luckily and rightfully) it's illegal and considered torture to cut the ears of a beagle or perform infibulation on a little girl. But for some reason it's totally fine to perform circumcision on a baby. Something's

Well, I guess most of the people wanted to know what was going on... with Facebook. And waste time somewhere else. It's interesting anyways to see proof that most people likely didn't use the extra free time to stay off the inter
