Number of criminal users

[edit]

To be fair, they both probably didn't exactly go looking for non-offending users, and the units were seemingly marketed towards those likely to be offenders. Not sure if I should add a note about source bias and unreliability in past for politically-charged sources. Basic math is that if 60K users were all gangs, then why so few prosecutions? 47.221.236.73 (talk) 19:53, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@47.221.236.73 because basic math doesn't account for small fishes in the big sea, or maybe users that weren't identifiable AND provably criminal. 89.8.8.63 (talk) 20:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

even more material

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-67051150 e.g. it suggests the operation endures and rather that 16 firearms, 49 have been seized so far.

End-to-end encryption compromised?

[edit]

Here's some more information about police operations, as reported by the BBC [1]. Maybe this could be included in the article? I assume the police didn't actually crack end-to-end encryption when carrying out their operations, but this point is not particularly clear in the article. Perhaps someone with a knowledge of the subject could clarify the point. Thanks, MidnightBlue (Talk) 12:49, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
