IMO, the reason they always use the child abuse excuse for encryption backdoors is evident in this thread discussion. Nearly all people are against child abuse / porn. But if a person says "I'm not willing to give up secure encryption worldwide just because it is used for child abuse / porn", a pile of people will say "It's not acceptable for one child to be abused!" Of course it's not acceptable. But should everyone in the entire world lose their privacy, even if it eliminated all child abuse, which obviously it won't? To me, these encryption backdoor ideas are rarely about law enforcement. They are about people in power wanting to maintain and extend their power. Criminals who want to use unbreakable encryption will always have easy access to it because encryption is an easy technology that anyone can use. Governments can make whatever laws they want, but it will mainly affect law-abiding citizens. The criminals will just ignore them, as always. The people pushing this backdoor encryption agenda are not stupid. They know that criminals will ignore these new backdoor rules, which is why I believe it is really about power, not child porn.
