But I am fully in favor of end-to-end encryption. We should not have to trust some non-government organization to give us (revocable at any time, in secret?) 'permission' to keep secrets.
How do things possibly sort out that interoperability between messaging systems would reduce rather than increase end-to-end encryption? Ideally multi-platform interoperability would mean that simply using end-to-end encryption would let people who have never heard of it, learn about it. It additionally would make it much easier to onboard to encrypted platforms, since you could still communicate with those who haven't yet.
I remember the Clipper chip debacle of 1993, 29 years ago.
