This reads perfectly, and I'm happy their voice can be heard. End to end encryption is essential, it doesn't require an argument.
Security systems and the ability to transmit data transmissions securely, whether it be a 'chat' or not require this not only due to bad actors, but data integrity.
You know that your data is read only by those who are authorized. While intentions may be good (they're not), at scale it is not feasible to monitor all data, in hopes to stop something bad.
Discord just had its 'required IDs' hacked. We can sit here all day and say why encryption, and secure transmissions are beneficial, but there just isn't one argument I can possibly agree with where everybody's privacy, and ability to speak securely is infringed upon.
This effects everybody globally if you have people you speak securely with in the EU. By backdooring things by default and undermining encrypted technologies, everybody in the world then becomes at risk by whoever gets that data.
Who does actually get that data?
There's a 'dark mission' going on in the EU where data retention and backdoors are becoming a requirement, they're seeking out individuals for hire and giving them missions to compromise and/or obtain compromised systems, nobody knows who they are, what they do, or what they do with the data.
The European Digital Rights had some words on it.
