A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This doesn't target E2EE - that's the whole point of E2EE. It does target everyone else, though.
It does though, by holding them accountable if they "on purpose" blind themselves. Which is E2EE
So you can only trust a) open source or b) safe countries. Which is basically already the situation.

Except there are specific exclusions in the bill to address this. Hell, the three paragraphs before the one mentioning "deliberately blinding" are all dedicated to explaining why it doesn't apply to end-to-end encryption.
Here is the exert from the bill - so long as the provider does not deliberately blind itself to those violations. Sadly this would target E2EE specifically as they can say by providing a way to blind the traffic, they are held accountable.
