83% of UK citizens believe personal conversations on messaging apps such as Element, WhatsApp or Signal should have the highest level of security and privacy possible.

Perhaps, in actual fact, posturing on end-to-end encryption is the fig leaf for a lack of investment in education, policing and social care. After all, talk is cheap.

    Agreed, and I’m also annoyed at so many people who do understand end-to-end encryption immediately accept that if an app uses it, it’s automatically secure and safe. The entity implementing it, and how they do it, also matters.
