| I'm in favor of the government being capable of seeing and viewing 100% everything. 110%. The infrastructure should be there. If there's a court order or lawful authorization, info should be accessible without delay. But The way to do that would be more systems of review for when it's used, generally making the standards more strict, less ambiguous. But The problem is there are side effects to changing the law that can give away methods and also put convictions at risk. There's other ramifications we may not know about until it was put in effect, but they could be negative. I bet that's one reason there isn't as much movement in the area. There was an article in the news recently that right now in USA the case law considers unopened email to be discarded. GDPR went into effect in EU. That is another aspect that US doesn't a similar thing for (does it need one? I don't see people bringing it up often, convince me otherwise?) My point is, backdoors are more of a hypothetical thing. The legal framework around them and making them better is more productive use of your time. That would involve people coming together and nuancing what the types of privacy are and whether it involves US people, foreign countries, drug dealers, etc. |
