    Rephrased, LE/IC will have a more difficult time fighting crime, not that they won't be able to fight crime at all.

    It's unclear why you've chosen to respond to my comment about my personal situation (which I'm not hiding at all), but I suspect you're trying to conflate something about my credib…

    Your comment makes a laughably wrong assumption, and is also low value.

    (Fully expecting this comment to be destroyed.) If you give E2EE to the masses, then the endpoints will need to remain vulnerable by design, or LE/IC won't be able to do their jobs…

    I have lived in {} since the mid 2000’s. Stalking by strangers and acquaintances has gotten out of hand in (at least) the past five years. (Any such behavior against me has since c…

    Semantics aside, if FB isn’t allowed to use the math behind E2EE, they’ve effectively been stopped from using math. Just trying to avoid getting into the weeds. Similarly to you qu…
