I agree with this! I think the law is going to need to change, too.

The problem is, no matter how we change the law, the law is going to demand a balance of interests. We can outlaw coerced production of personal communications between relatives and friends, but there are still going to be communications the public has a right to access.

The technology is not going balance those interests. It's morally neutral, and incapable of concerning itself with the needs of society to stop organized criminal enterprises.

Again: for me, the wins of strong crypto clearly beat out the losses. But it's not insane that people --- especially people who don't work in technology --- might weight the factors differently.
