> law abiding people get no encryption while people who break the law will still have access to encryption, so how does it help you catch pedophiles? If only people who break the law use encryption, then everyone who uses encryption must be breaking some law (that is, "(~lawbreaker => ~encryption) => (encryption => lawbreaker)"). That is, instead of having to do all the work to find out if the guy is really a pedophile or something else, they can simply arrest the guy for using encryption. It's a lazy approach. > I don’t really understand how this will work in reality for things like SSL or ssh. It wouldn't, these protocols (and many others) would have to be basically rewritten, or we'd have to go back to plain HTTP and telnet.

But they'll allow a cutout for politicians and law enforcement (aka government) - ergo, such people -must- also be criminals. Heck - we know today, encryption using or not - many within our governments are at best shady, and more than a few are criminals or perform criminal acts. They say "think of the children"? Trust me - they already are, and not in the good way. We have no idea just how far and deep the tentacles of Epstein's "system" went - but based on what we already know and/or suspect - it was far reaching, involving many high-up government officials, corporations, public and private universities, and likely more. It wouldn't surprise me to find out high-up law enforcement and quite possibly even individuals involved in child protection systems were involved as well. I'm almost certain there were more than a few state governors involved. Probably also members of the media, bankers - if you can think of it, Epstein probably had one or more of them involved. They didn't want him to spill the beans. And now, they want things to be even more quiet, so they can monitor, but can't be monitored themselves.
