    My understanding is that the various anti-encryption proposals don't prevent the government itself from using encryption, just their subjects. So it's not really an "argument against" from the state's point of view. They will be safe.

    i don't get how it's an argument for encryption if that wasn't the affected part

      Huh? It is a argument against government backdoor access to messages.

      The government demonstrated that they are unqualified to keep data securely under their control. As such, any argument that a backdoor only allows the duly elected government access is empirically false. Any such backdoor empirically allows nefarious criminals access to your messages whereas the absence of a backdoor keeps your messages safely between you and the other party.

      So, your options are:

      1. Encryption with no backdoors so all messages are safe.

      2. Criminals can freely read your messages so the government can more easily investigate potential criminals.

        It's a far right propaganda site masquerading as internet advocacy.

          Far right? How do you back that belief? As I see it they're just wrong on a lot of stuff.
