alt Hacker News> as a society we do need some sort of targeted backdoor into communications
So just blanket "no private communication for anyone"? I mean, why shouldn't people be able to communicate privately? There is no such thing as a "single owner of backdoors", so why try play that game when it never ends with just a single owner?
Mostly private, but with proportionate exceptions.
For instance, law enforcement agencies can receive legal authority to wiretap your phone if they can present reasonable suspicion of criminal activity that must be investigated.
