@mnot this reminds me of an article from 2015 by @pluralistic in reference to another planned government assault on end-to-end encryption: “But Whatsapp isn’t like a insurance agency with our applications in its file-drawers – it’s like a cafe where we pop in for a chat. Cafes have never been required install hidden microphones in the salt-cellars that could be activated with a court order. The state has never had the power to listen in on all our conversations.“ 🧂
