Ah, there it is : think of the children

"Law enforcement bodies such as the National Crime Agency claim that wider adoption of E2EE will stop them from detecting paedophiles preying on children through messaging apps"

Because of course they do.

I'd like to know how many paedos have been caught thanks to this indispensable privacy-violating attitude.

This is the favorite excuse for snooping, but I've never heard an official declaration stating "We have caught X criminals with this technology".

So, out with it. How many are now behind bars because of your snooping in everyone's lives ?
