Aren’t you advocating for a Big Brother-style system?
Not at all. I wish the iranian political refugee can communicate with her family without the state to intervene. That's great. But at the same time I wish a court order can open up encryption when it's needed. But the balance is difficult. As we see all the time.
Many will disagree with you because your stance does not take an all-or-nothing approach, so good on you for asking these tougher questions. We have the same sort of questions in the US, though a very specific group would love to turn this who country into a police state (they even have their own flag). I am a big privacy advocate, but also recognize that it is ripe for abuse by bad actors, so the solutions are muddy and need some serious beta testing before they can be called solutions. This where people tend to get lost in the debate and start responding with emotions rather than reason, which unfortunately does not progress us a viable solution. I see the same thing happening in the EU, but from afar, so my perception is likely skewed.
