I thought this was about League of Legends at first, and I was terrified that Riot was going to make it harder to chase down toxic chat in their game.

Doesn't help that the first 4 google search results for "riot chat" are League of Legends sites

Same, especially since the gaming Riot has blogged about their very impressive chat infrastructure in the past.

Honestly at this point, this Riot should probably give up and change their name. It didn't occur to me this could be about a different Riot.

Because when someone is calling my mom a fag on the internet, I want that to be encrypted.

Same. It's tough when the name of your company/product has the same name as the producer of one of the largest and most successful multiplayer games ever built. 0_0

Same. “Okay, so now hackers and the CIA won’t know that some teenage punk called me a ‘homersexual faglord’, that’s just terrific.”

they should get 2 factor authentication before worrying about having end to end encryption in their chat.
