There's nothing controversial about E2EE.

Unless you think it's controversial for private conversations to be.... private?

Can't think of a government that wouldn't think that private conversations being private is controversial.

From the article itself:
"But the company has now told the BBC it believes the technology prevents police and safety teams from being able to read direct messages if they needed to."

This is the truth. But it is also part of the point of E2EE. And why governments hate it.
