So much of this conversation accepts the government’s anti-crime message is made in good faith. Is isn't. What‘s more, you all know that. Everyone agrees the act is unlikely to to stop dedicated pedophiles and terrorists. The Republicans and Democrats know that as well. Crime is a useful pretext to openly push for what they can’t say aloud. They wish to suppress dissent. They know the threat unbreakable encryption poses to their wealth and to their power. It’s freedom. Freedom from detection, identification, coercion to comply. Freedom to do what you think is right. If it’s passed, terrorists will reasonably include domestic terrorist. Which will broaden to include Antifa [1] and Black Lives Matter [2] in the government’s eavesdropping. Then people who attend the same protest that BLM or Antifa appear at will need to be monitored. And so on. This is the whole point. Not pedophiles. Not Al Qaeda or Isis. They pose no threat to the power of the ruling class. You do.
