It is sad to see people being such blatant, distopian despots, especially when they think they are doing evil for a good cause. Evil has such a hold on the minds of people that they think they would be doing good by attacking every human in earth. It is hard to understand because I'm not low intelligence, ignorant of history, and evil.

I have compassion for my colleagues perspectives. I was just like them. It took a really long time to realize that there are better solutions available.
I was disgusted when I first heard Snowden first speak about CSAM and privacy. My training taught me that the government was going to help fix it. My training taught me that tech was the enemy of children.
So how do we work towards breaking that perspective and offer solutions that truly serves humanity?
Keep doing what you are doing. You are like Gandalf on the bridge with the balrog, forgive the cheesy analogy. I can't do that. I don't have the ability to see the possibility for growth in people when it's stuff I could understand as a small child. I don't see a way to fix that and it causes me discomfort, so I always choose to avoid people, don't offer my perspective (bc what's the point) much, and work alone. Your path is higher in this way.
Yes. But I also do not see why to try defending an insecure messanger that does not offer e2ee and therefore all messages can be decrypted by the service without difficulty. Sorry but users who did use chats that are no private chat, just did not care about security.
