The scary thing is that this was even brought forward. The fact that they are thinking about doing it is just as scary because it wont be much longer before a vote passes in its favor.
The issue is that these laws are being put forward under the premise of protecting us. The reason 4 this one was to stop groomers and harassment online. Sounds like something that I would support. But its done via your endpoint. So no matter what you do its available for the gov to see. because its endpoints it means that even something encrypted does nothing because its encrypted during transit but decrypted on the recipients device, aka an end point. So encryption is pointless. The goal was to have this per-installed on all new phones going forward. (pc's seemed 2 difficult to implement i guess). glad it filed to happen

there are more and more laws invading our most private space and that's very bad
