I'm reminded of when I was told for years that eliminating net neutrality would destroy the Internet as we know it. Then it was eliminated and the Internet is exactly the same as it was before. Point being, I am extremely skeptical that this bill is an existential threat to free society and democracy.
Anyway, the text of the bill clearly states that offering encryption services cannot serve as a basis for liability under the new CSAM carveout. I haven't seen critics of the bill explain why that language isn't good enough to protect E2EE services from liability. Most critics just pretend that part of the bill doesn't exist.
