"EncroChat was founded in 2016 as an encrypted instant-messaging service and was said to have been favored by criminals as a communication tool until 2020."

OK, so just let me get this straight. Criminals aren't using the mainstream Social Media apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, et al, but prefer to use dedicated channels of encryption on far more obscure services.

So why are we focusing efforts against WhatsApp, etc? Is it because the Government isn't overly worried about the hardcore criminals, they really just want to spy on everyone?
