the masses have never heard about it

and people who need E2E and are sufficiently knowledgeable about it don't use it either, for a number of reasons

it's a for-profit, centralized, closed-source product for privacy larpers

it is an observation. the two systems without punitive measures I have provided as an example in my original comment - crypto and tor - have been doing alright for more than a decade.

and that's the authority you choose to report such a transgression to - not the police, not the oversight agencies, but the yellow pages? that's who you expect to investigate your report a make a judgement about its validity?

you're arguing that its yellow pages job to remove the entry for businesses that violate laws. not only is that not the case, that's profoundly absurd.

I've just provided the easiest example of bypassing any boomer security nonmeasures. give a dedicated and competent attacker 15 minutes alone with your highly secure machine and highly sensitive documents, and if your entire security model depends on DRM rather than actually effective methods, they will figure out how to exfiltrate it all.

if you mean there are scanners that prevent you from scanning of a banknote, that's another great example of wasting time, money and resources to accomplish nothing

same. but I get the feeling that the era of services like that available in the browser is near its end. 10-20 years, and their website will only have links to 'get our app'

you can't have an interesting conversations if it takes 3 or so powerusers to gag you

I see tons of interesting comments flagged/dead within minutes. there are rarely controversial, or low-quality, or rule-breaking

there are plenty of topics you are only allowed to express a pre-approved opinion about, and I can't even give you examples without getting muted

what's stopping someone from taking photos of your precious document and posting them on 4chan?

nothing. there's nothing you can do to stop that.

- they are nowhere nearly good enough. the current system satisfies only one criteria of the 'security, user-chosen names, and decentralization' trifecta, and even that just barely.

- all the good dotcoms have been squatted on since the 90s (that's why half the startups have gibberish names). particularly desirable domains are being squatted on even on all the random dotbullshit nu-tlds.

- the social/political/judicial systems are the very reason why there are so many attempts to build an alternative to registrars and DNS

I will readily agree that so far all attempts have failed though, being either too complex/clunky, or tainted with a crypto grift - I'm actually happy that namecoin/ens/handshake/etc got virtually no adoption. but it has to be done eventually. the entire industry is a scam and rent-seeking with unlimited profit margins

it's not the name servers' job to deal with any of that, especially on the clearnet

on the contrary, that's the thing we want the most. having no way to curb abuse is what gave Tor a few orders of magnitude more adoption than the other alternative internets. having no way to curb abuse is what made crypto market what it is.
