alt Hacker News> Privacy is being abused by criminals to victimize people at scale.
Almost all victimization is being done without end to end encryption. This is not a problem caused by privacy.

And I guess you have statistics about how much victimization happens over e2e?:)
Yep. For example on Instagram DMs, which is why Instagram abolished E2EE, and we all went into an uproar.
Also on Discord and Roblox, they are apparently the biggest platforms for this, but they're not E2EE anyway, they're just hiding it because their executives like what's happening.
