<i>There&#x27;s no evidence the plotters of the Paris terrorist attacks used encrypted communications</i><p>First sentence is already wrong.<p>They recovered smartphones that had encrypted messaging apps.<p>Still no excuse for government backdoors which will be stolen by all kinds of entities within months of their creation and allow the wrong people to spy on law enforcement itself.<p>Government had a 10 year headstart before all this, where are all the terrorists they stopped before this?
