    It’s not as if encryption would stop them being able to infiltrate and observe criminal gangs, and generally catch the bad guys. There are all kinds of other tools they can use without having instant push-button access to all communications data.

    Encryption doesn’t stop them spying on you. It stops them spying on everyone in the world simultaneously all the time with no effort.

    If e2ee is what is really keeping you from catching child abusers, then your department is INCOMPETENT and LAZY. Sorry, but all this does is tell me that you are a piece of shit human being(s) that thinks they have to have god-like controls to do your job of jailing actual criminals. or else it’s just an excuse to control everything (it is), in which case you are just evil

    Fuck these nosey oligarchs
