“Opioid use is easier to start than end” and the connections afforded by the Internet allow the opioid epidemic to persist in a way that it would not, without them. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/inside-snapchat-teenage-opioid-crisis-1235036691/

I think it's worth asking Snapchat to record the snaps and conversations for 30 days and scanning them because wtf.

"because wtf" seems like a really easy way to justify dragnet surveillance

I am sympathetic and tbh am starting to prefer the idea of an authoritarian surveillance state vs the unruly masses and their messy freedom but understand why this would be unpopular

I'd be okay with an authoritarian surveillance state given a hypothetical perfect state the reality is very far from that, though... eg. imagine getting arrested and sued for >$100k just for a meme https://www.deccanherald.com/world/on-my-way-to-blow-up-the-plane-joke-turns-into-a-spanish-court-trial-for-this-uk-man-2866231 and that's Spain, a modern healthy democracy! my family is from the former Soviet Union... the stories I've heard from them, the pervasive climate of fear... I am grateful to live in a timeline where E2EE exists and cryptographic privacy is possible

I think that, if you went to any of those parents and said, Snapchat keeping a 30-day record of the chats would make it easier for us to identify the criminals... I don't think any of them would say "muh, privacy"

wondering if that generalizes for you, or if it's specific to Snapchat (vaguely an app targeted at children) if the government came to you and said they were considering forcing Signal to keeping an unencrypted copy of chats for 30 days in order to make it easier to identify criminals, would you be onboard?
