I'm happy to have a discussion about this, but I don't buy that end-to-end encryption will, overall, increase children's safety. I'm happy to see strong evidence one way of the other, but this article is very one-sided.<p>Child grooming on the internet is a huge problem, and I suspect (again, happy to see evidence against it) it's better to allow scanning of children's communications, rather than ensuring their communication with whoever they are talking to is end-to-end encrypted.<p>I don't think it's reasonable to make this the parent's responsibility, when basically the whole world is internet connected, and those parents are fighting against multi-billion dollar international corporations, who dedicate huge teams of highly paid people to ensuring children get addicted to their platforms. Looking at the children in my life, it's very hard to keep them off social media, even if you don't give them devices they will just use their friend's, or devices at school.
