    Is what everyone in the US thought as well few years back. Now you have people in jail for speaking up and police officers routinely stalking their wifes/girlfriends/exes via flock or phone geolocation.

    Did they break e2ee encryption and force identity verification online to do this? No? Then I think those issues are unrelated.

      Would you say issue of murders increasing to record numbers are unrelated because some murders are commited with a knife, some with an axe? The mechanism doesn’t matter, the abuse it allows does.
