While the debate is focused on “encryption”, I think it’s worth remembering that one stated use for chat monitoring is “grooming”. Since that’s highly-contextual, this implies that providers will need to store the plaintext of all messages beyond the ability of users to delete.

Netflix, or whoever, should have videos of sleeping cats. Sometimes a sleeping cat is all I want to watch.

Thanks to Tennessee’s new permitless carry law, no training or background check is required to carry a hidden, loaded handgun in public. As a result, too many Americans think shoplifting is a crime punishable by death.

I see that the same government that wants you to log into every site for age/identity verification, also thinks cookie pop-ups are a problem.
