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.
