    is this declaration about e2e in general, or is there a specific new rollout they are referencing?

      Asking the real questions here. It’s not like e2e is about to be rolled out, pgp existed for decades

        What they are concered with is e2ee moving from just being for nerds and people who really want to keep secrets (organised crime etc) and expanding to the general population though mainstream messaging apps.

          WhatsApp already has e2e. It’s the most popular app ever, what’s left there to roll out? Signal is e2e, telegram is e2e-able, protonmail is already famous, etc etc.

      The declaration, published today and supported by Europol and the European Police Chiefs, comes as end-to-end encryption has started to be rolled out across Meta’s messenger platform.
