Enough with this shit already! Even the FBI begrudgingly knows better.

How would this work without breaking cryptography? The whole point of a good cipher is that the algorithm can be public and widely understood, and all that’s needed for it to be secure is for the private key to be private. A cipher that has some backdoor -master key- is by design insecure and no sane person should use it. Security through obscurity doesn’t work, trying to keep the algorithm private won’t work, someone sooner or later will break it.

requiring us to have the same conversation over and over again.

What do they do with their budgets?

So we went on the cryptowar to be able to have secure connection for everyone in the digital age bringing safety to citizens and now they want us to still have that security but not for them ? What about misuse ? Cuz there will be have misuse. What about hacker ? Cuz backdoors will be exploited (already are) by bad guys.

Europol chief calls for breach of contract?

I feel like the next time a democracy wants to protect itself from fascism, that the “constitutional” document should dictate what members of the government can and can’t do. And that the punishment for advocating for fascist policies is dismissal from the government forever.

If we took America’s Bill of Rights for example, advocating for laws that are on the surface against one of the amendments should result in that representative being removed from office. If Congress passes a law (not an amendment, but a law) then when that law is declared unconstitutional, they should all be dismissed with prejudice.

The right to privacy should be enshrined and people like her should be removed from office and never given a platform again.

Even the FBI recommended the use of Signal. .
