No way this lasts or holds up to basic scrutiny. End to end encryption is a de-facto standard for so fucking much technology.

Well if they commit to this, it will never affect “e2ee” options that collaborate with feds e.g. whatsapp, imessage. If you can kill Refaat Alareer with it rest assured you will be able to keep it in your phone anytime

Yes, the trick is to outlaw it entirely then enforce the law selectively against those whom you find politically awkward.
