This is so stupid. Messengers offer easy access to E2EE, but they are not the only way to make it work. So doing this changes nothing, even assuming you need E2EE to distribute illegal material.
And I want to stress this is not even true. Or can I not just go on the internet and download a movie, which is definitely illegal and aggressively persecuted?
I would love to call the headline clickbaity bs, but it’s technically accurate and somehow this makes it worse and better at the same time.
