How do you think the government will access end-to-end encrypted data without making use of a backdoor? (Or alerting the user.)

Brandis said warrants should be "sufficiently strong to require companies, if need be, to assist in response to a warrant to assist law enforcement or intelligence to decrypt a communication". A company which makes end-to-end encryption will not be able to assist law enforcement in this way unless they make a backdoor.

Conclusion: Brandis either doesn't know what a backdoor is, or he does know but realises that "backdoor" has negative connotations so he is pretending that that's not what it is. Both possibilities are pretty reprehensible in my opinion.

I take the second option, this is a man who tried to claim metadata is not data.

And it took them just a few weeks to breach the 'safe guards' in place for the warrantless data retention scheme.
