There seems to be some kind of group repeatedly pushing this crap every other year, with increasingly shady tactics.

I would for sure like to know from where this emanates...

It's the pro-surveilance people that want to monetize your data. They try and lean on fear and push this "only ISIS uses Signal" narrative that is obviously false.

It's just so preposterous - businesses and payment processors rely on e2ee just as much as anyone else does. The one time we're on the same team they just want a carve out for businesses or something I expect.

Not enough people are aware of just how evil Peter Theil really is

Agreed. I’ve tried to tell people about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment but friends and family brush it off like it’s some small cult thing instead of being silently funded by billionaires
