This really grinds my gears. Maybe instead do better job at catching criminals? Do better investigation?<p>We ban privacy now, because criminals can hide. What's next? Ban sharp kitchen utensils because criminals can stab you with them?<p>This is punishing ordinary people for some bad apples. I don't care how much you gonna preach me how secure your government backdoored messaging app is. I don't want my conversations to be leaked. I may be saying some embarrassing things to someone I trust. And leaks happen all the time.<p>Leaking your private conversations now, using them to profile you tomorrow. I mean, wouldn't government eventually want to stop a possible bad actor before he or she commits violence? That conversation you had with your friend about <i>insert current war going on</i> does not look too good... Government does not approve it.<p>This may sound extreme, but some time in the past people had unreasonable fear for being wiretapped. And look where we are now. Literally have to make extra steps to feel that no one's listening to you or your data isn't used in some way you can't even imagine.
