Signal threatens to dump US market if EARN IT act passes
1. The police are either lazy or incompetent if they say they cannot trace criminals because of E2E secure chat.2. You don't need to know the contents of a chat to glean massive amounts of metadata. FB Messenger and WhatsApp going truly E2E encrypted will still put FB (and anyone serving them with warrants) to know in real time who is talking to whom, what their IP addresses are, and possibly real location (if they are using the app on their phone).  This can be used to created a Signature profile... many Pakistanis and Yemeni have died from a Hellfire missile strike because they matched a pattern of activity. Google "signature strike" for more info.3. The terrorists and pedophiles that are the most dangerous are using far more sophisticated means of communication than Wire, Signal, WhatsApp, Wickr, etc.  Saying that this is "for the children" or "for our safety" is complete bullshit and anyone saying otherwise needs to prove it.
