Perhaps, in actual fact, posturing on end-to-end encryption is the fig leaf for a lack of investment in education, policing and social care. After all, talk is cheap.

    I find a lot of people really do not even understand end-to-end encryption. It’s okay not to understand it as a concept because infosec isn’t in everyone’s wheelhouse. I am most annoyed at the politicians that pretend to know. Information security is not easy. End-to-end security is all well and good, but what’s the use of encryption if the metadata can still be deciphered, doxxed, and used potentially against somebody.
