&gt; I&#x27;m not sure who you&#x27;re arguing with, but I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s me.<p>Those quotes are from you...<p>And coupled with the general tone in majority of your posts in this thread... it&#x27;s painfully clear you fundamentally believe the government not being able to intercept and access all private electronic communications the world-over is a major problem...<p>Taking this to it&#x27;s logical conclusion, you support weakening, backdooring, or somehow subverting generalized end-user encryption in order to &quot;aide&quot; law enforcement (to whatever end).<p>This is an absurd stance for anyone who works in technology to take. The government is not just kicking around the idea of banning&#x2F;backdooring full-device encryption, but even run-of-the-mill encryption such as SSL&#x2F;TLS because it can be used to mask communications just the same. In this world, you wont even be safe purchasing goods online, let alone conducting banking, etc. It literally is incompatible with the technology we need to drive today&#x27;s world.<p>So please get off the &quot;government needs this to stop bad guys&quot; high horse and come back down to reality. There is not a world where anyone is safe without strong encryption.
