Re: We need end to end encryption, and fast

Define "end to end encryption". Because I guarantee if you ask 100 experts you'll get 100 varied answers.

There are existing applications provide a form of end to end encryption to varying degrees. There are even some standards for those individual communications. But today, they are not integrated, and are not pervasive and unified across platforms and applications. And call me cynical, they won't be quickly.

So sadly, for now, we need the likes of Microsoft to take this type of stand. It may only delay legislation but it does buy us the time to get the right types of secured unified communications in place properly.
