#3> The Armed Forces, on the other hand, are negative and write in a letter to the government that the proposal cannot be realized "without introducing vulnerabilities and backdoors that can be exploited by third parties
First time I am seeing an organization against this. Kudos to them for standing up.

They haven’t been in a war since 1814, so they’ve had lots of time to develop other competences.
I hear they also make amazing sourdough and can discuss the Beatles catalog at depth.

#8It seems like a lot of these proposals are coming out of Europe—assuming I’m not mistaken (and I may well be), why is Europe cracking down so much on privacy?

There is no evidence or reason to believe that US intelligence agencies can access signal messages when used properly.
It would be much simpler for them to compromise the phones of targets vs break the signal protocol. This is generally true of secure communication systems, the flaws tend to be in usage and endpoint security, not in the protocol implementation.

#10There is a reason why Free Software (as in freedom) was invented: To ensure that those who create the software do not overpower those who use the software. The idea, that companies or politicians can force the user's machine to work against it's owner, is wrong. And it is wrong, because to be a human in the 21st century means in most cases, that your digital devices and your digital interactions are a core part of who you are as a private person. Invading the privacy of one's digital space is a violation that goes as deep as reading someone's diary when we look back and the time when life was more analog.
