 &gt; No, I&#x27;m sorry. Kids being raped matters.<p>I never said it didn&#x27;t matter, but the problem is bigger than one issue.<p>I have total distain for people who do this, but lets be clear that an encrypted phone isn&#x27;t going to stop these people getting caught. They&#x27;re already aware of how despicable their acts are and use the traditional trust systems to hide it. All the busts are through social engineering - agents who go undercover to infiltrate these networks and find the perpetrators. This must be one of the worst jobs in the world.<p>&gt; None of which is remotely related to phones being unbreakable by law enforcement.<p>And as has been said by experts in cryptography, breakable by one third party means breakable by _everybody_. This means the partner who said they&#x27;d harm you if you told someone what they did to you. This means the pimp who&#x27;s holding you against your will. This means the company who&#x27;s allowing toxic substances to leak in to drinking water.<p>This is _much bigger_ than one issue. In the digital world once something exists it can escape. Once it escapes you can&#x27;t stop it, and it will escape.<p>This is nothing like a normal search warrant. It&#x27;s a warrant with no address, no reason and no time. It can be used whenever, wherever, and with no oversight on who does it.
