    End-to-end encryption is indispensable. Our legislators (no matter where we live) need to be made to understand this next time they try to outlaw it.

        Ew.

        Think of it like this:

        • no encryption - sending a postcard
        • client to sever encryption - dropping off the postcard at the post office instead of the mailbox
        • end to end encryption - security envelope in the mailbox
        • read receipts - registered mail

        Hopefully you’re less wrong now Mr/Mrs legislator.
