    I think its a mixture of lazy and inexperience.

    I believe if someone in a position of authority who understands how vital E2EE is in order for the internet to work, this suggestion wouldn’t even be on the table.

    its a case of just kicking destroying E2EE down the road for another generation to deal with, I believe. not sure what the solution is, either

      That might be an illusion. You might be perceiving the world without normalized E2EE as something too horrible to consider. But it would be a stable system, functional for the taste of those people.

        Lawmakers will make exceptions to allow E2EE for their own communications and those of the very wealthy.
