If it's client side then pedos will just strip it out and keep on going. It's a giant waste of time.
It's really all about having a way to get past encryption so they can spy on everyone indiscriminately. It's pushed that it's to save kids and unmask pedos, but the people in charge know the pedophiles are their rich donors.
It's about controlling opposition and making sure the wealthy can stay on top. Imagine if no small business can hide their information from their competitors.
It's not just about wealth.
