There are two parts.
1) Yes, you can build better encryption and privacy preserving technology. That is a technology and adoption problem.
2) There is so much you can do once the law says you can’t encrypt certain kinds of things and if you do, the state will be after you. That is a social problem. Our elected leaders aren’t serving us.
Not mutually exclusive. We have to do both. Build better tech, educate others and esp our politicians who can change the fabric of society.
- SkyBelow 6y ago3) People are willing to sacrifice freedoms to protect kids, likely a result of not understanding the complexities of such a nightmarish problem and how much freedom will have to be sacrificed and how little protection will be gained at great cost. Why? Because our society does not allow us to perform cost benefit analysis on a child's well being despite reality giving us no such relief as removing the need for such.

Having children really makes some people entirely unable to think. I've heard people entirely willing to outlaw any form of encryption to "protect" their children from pedophiles despite the likelihood of getting their identity stolen, bankrupt and unable to feed their children being significantly higher than a pedophile targeting their child even now, and would increase by several orders of magnitude if we suddenly weren't allowed to encrypt things like e-banking and email.
