> Orders of magnitude more grooming and misconduct is done over SMS
Yeah, you should bring up snail mail next.
Even if we imagine someone using SMS in this day and age, still no one uses it to send photos or videos or broadcast live abuse.
> Is it up to telecom engineers to “wake up”
For better or worse a lot of what they do is considered essential service (calling emergency, disaster response etc).
e2ee messaging isn't essential, and yes ordinary non-tech people are waking up to harmful uses of it. If tech industry doesn't own up to that and work to combat those, someone else will and in that case rest assured you will not like the result:)
