"This isn’t standard government bullshit. This is heinous, dangerous
bullshit. This is a conglomerate of Western governments, on the eve of
the deployment of a mysterious “data-sharing” agreement, portraying the
implementation of encryption for communications as aiding and abetting
the sexual abuse of children. This is a not-very-subtle smearing of
every tech company that deploys encryption to protect its users from
criminals and governments that behave like criminals. This is the abuse
of the phrase “lawful access” to portray the possession of a warrant as
a golden ticket to everything law enforcement wishes to obtain."
