I live my life assuming everything already has a backdoor and the article title is misleading the populace. Sure, the Five Eyes and Japan might be asking for a backdoor but I postulate the chance they don't already have access to all information they desire is zero. At this point everything is just meant to wear everyone down and increase tolerance until the day "government has access to everything" doesn't matter to the populace. Secondly, I think people are really naive to consider any justification for catching bad guys. All funding should be going into making the desire "to be a bad guy" zero. That's not going to be done by fear but instead by making a life as "not a bad guy" more attractive. Currently people are living unattractive lives while following the law and society should be making that unattractiveness go away.

One thing that may help is making laws cut both ways. For instance, it is illegal in my country to not carry health insurance[1]. However, it naturally follows that it is equally illegal for an insurer to refuse coverage. La majestueuse égalité des lois, qui interdit au riche comme au pauvre de coucher sous les ponts, de mendier dans les rues et de voler du pain. (1894) [1] among my stock of anecdotes from the States, that I pull out for people here who have never lived there: "uninsured motorist coverage" ... kepashang? (wtf?)

They need to make it legal to bring it up in court, it's pretty clear and there's decades of evidence that they are happy to break laws themselves to get the job done, despite caring about privacy I'm not that fussed really. Parallel construction has it's merits and for the most part cops want to improve society, especially for the most dangerous cases. That said, a scary amount of digital crime cases get dropped by the FBI when they are faced with some scrutiny. Their reasoning really doesn't hold up when they justify it either, got a bit of smell about it.
