Rock meet hard place?

Harm to kids is actually happening, and this is always going to be a hot button topic.

E2E is critical for our current ability to communicate online, but will be a lower priority when pitted against child safety.

Fighting the good fight is one thing, fighting for the sake of it, without a plan that addresses the tactical reality is another altogether.

Personally, I think E2E will be defended, but it’s becoming a lightning rod for attention. As if removing encryption will solve the emerging issues.

I suspect providing alternatives to champion, such as privacy preserving ways to verify age, will force a conversation on why E2E needs to go.
