Yeah but the UK has been notably more censorious/orwellian since Brexit, so it’s a weak comparison.
(Not that they’ve got many strong comparisons on their side)
How long until they say “people are using E2E to get around this. We need to ban/include E2E now”?
“E2E is just for pedos” incoming.
Honestly it seems like investigating it now would be wasteful.
it’s just harder to reinvestigate when the government won’t move heaven and earth to protect (and pardon) the perpetrators.
Better to wait for a less corrupt legal infrastructure in a few years (or even after midterms).
They’ll probably appeal and do bullshit to negotiate it down and defer the payment.
So, a consequence, but one absolutely built into the budget of the things they’re being fined for.

So much effort?

Ah hell. My only pair of sunglasses is a 5 year old pair of raybans.
I’d better not get “pervert glasses” shouted at me.
