Then PayPal has the data and LE can follow the trail. Because it's about LE being able to tell who actually bought the certificate, telling me end users can't do that is kinda moving the goalposts.

NYT has an anti-tech agenda in general because tech is killing newspapers.
It's also a contrarian position because most people love their tech, and contrarian positions and outrage drive clicks.

Of course they did. When you paid with your card they knew your identity. Unless you were carding which is a pretty serious crime.

That's what they wanted when they pushed Let's Encrypt. https meant something before, since a certificate was expensive and required proof of identity. Yes, those methods weren't infallible, but they were good enough. Now we've lost that with free https.

Cynical and correct observation, which I know will get downvoted because it goes against the mantra of this website:
Being able to read whatsapp would help us catch many more stupid bad guys.
Smart bad guys will always be able to get away with it. That doesn't mean we should stop trying to catch stupid bad guys.

People generally don't care about LE reading what they say, so no. People used whatsapp before e2e and will keep using it after e2e.

One of many basic cultural differences between the UK and the EU. In the EU you must give up your biometrics (fingerprint) by law. Doesn't surprise me that they are leaving.

That happened to me too. Min payment was 120€ or so, and when I had amassed that amount (it took me like one year), bam, banned a few days before I could cash out. Obviously on purpose. That was ten years ago or so I think.

I agree. Example: Facebook. Journalists keep shitting on Facebook. Facebook doesn't care. Facebook (with WhatsApp and Instagram) keeps winning. Caving to the blackmailing would've probably left them in a worse position, like having to axe features that are popular for their users.

If we leave glycogen in our mouth for seconds/minutes, would the acids in our mouth decompose it into glucose which would taste sweet? Yes, I have no knowledge about chemistry.
