End-to-end encryption is indispensable. Our legislators (no matter where we live) need to be made to understand this next time they try to outlaw it.

Ew.

Think of it like this:

no encryption - sending a postcard
client to sever encryption - dropping off the postcard at the post office instead of the mailbox
end to end encryption - security envelope in the mailbox
read receipts - registered mail

Hopefully you're less wrong now Mr/Mrs legislator.
