#Illinois man pleads guilty to assaulting #Reuters journalist during U.S. Capitol riot

Last year, Jason Woods became the first defendant to be charged for assaulting a member of the news media during the riot.

A total of 11 people have been charged with assaulting journalists that day, while about 269 have been charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding police officers, according to a Justice Department tally.

Important announcement: end-to-end encryption concerns USERS, and not APPLICATIONS. The ends are the AGENTS, not the CODE they run.

If your communication application processes your messages on behalf of someone other than you or your recipient, then it's NOT #E2EE.

I'm surprised how many people seem to accept that applications exchange messages rather than people. Nope. If the application censors you or leaks contents to someone else, then your communication is not E2EE by definition.
