#5> We are writing to request that Facebook does not proceed with its plan to implement end-to-end encryption across its messaging services without ensuring that there is no reduction to user safety.
Oh, so you’re asking for more end-to-end encryption?
> While the letter acknowledges that Facebook, which owns Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram, captures 99% of child exploitation and terrorism-related content through its own systems, it also notes that "mere numbers cannot capture the significance of the harm to children."
This is such a lazy argument :/

Ah yes, "think of the children!" This is so tired, I'm (just a bit) surprised they fell into this argument.
