Lawyers for Nevada Attorney General Aaron Darnell Ford filed a partially redacted brief in federal court in Las Vegas on February 20 seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction against the social media platform Meta to prevent it from offering end-to-end encryption on Messenger for anyone residing in the state whom Meta believes may be a minor. Meta, in its response to the filing, says the request makes no sense since it and other messaging services have been offering end-to-end encryption to minors and other users for years, and law enforcement, as acknowledged in the Nevada AG's own filing, can still obtain such messages from the devices used by criminals and minors.
