@Mer__edith > and generally reject these narratives

I did my own research on this and found that major child welfare organizations are in large number part of this group that is against e2ee. They all get most of their funding from the USA federal government and the UN. The HEAT Initiative is operated by a former employee of Thorn, which is a non-profit that sells CSAM-scanning software. I think you guys are getting it all wrong.

1. no hint this is by data brokers or advertisers
2. the ads have direct connection to an organization that has a financial incentive to promote the idea that every billion dollar tech company needs to buy their software (ideally required by law)
3. child welfare agencies are all giving grants to other organizations that are giving to these programs, sure seems like they support it

I learned a ton about this just by clicking on links and then "who we are" pages and punching names into linkedin, I hope a real journalist is doing this not just moon man at shitposter dot club
