There’s been an increasing call in recent weeks and months for encryption to have government ‘backdoors’ put into them. This is a bad idea. No really, it’s an incredibly bad idea. Even if we took the assumption that it is a push that’s made with only the purest of intentions, and the government universal key is kept 100% safe and secure and never leaked or misused, it’s still a really, unbelievably, stupid idea.

Always the same awful takes from governments when it comes to encryption, just give us access to everyone's data so we can monitor for terrorism. As if that access will stay in the right hand.

Don’t forget the ‘think of the children’ crowd who simultaneously pass policies that make kids starve. Whenever you hear those two justifications given for why a policy needs to be implemented you have to read it at least twice as hard, because they’re often used as cover to pass some of the most draconian shit.
