Why should Law Enforcement have a seat at the table in the design of anything?
Should my sneakers be made more uncomfortable so I can't run away too fast?
Should they be able to remotely disable my car?
Remotely open the blinds to my home's windows?
Should I not be able to install a front door that resists attempts at forced entry?
What's the line where Law Enforcement's wants merit consideration?

- dropoutcoder 7y agoHaving exceptional access is important to keeping and improving society. It’s unethical to ignore and fight LE’s ongoing needs regarding such access. E2EE at scale, unchecked, is an extreme viewpoint with trade offs that I consider unethical at best, and fundamentally dangerous at worst.
