Is there an internet meme (equivalent to a Godwin's law) about "back-doors 'coz of terrists-n-kiddiepron"? I was expecting for it to feature in the article and sure enough there it was.
The narrative that "bad people use X" becomes "bad people used X to do thing Y and the government was helpless to stop it, omg!" in various echo chambers. Soon, news reports start appearing with "Thing X was used by bad person. If only the government could have acted in time, tragedy would have been averted".
The various governments and TLA's arguing about the need for back-doors is akin to them complaining that they can't solve crime because of the invention and use of curtains on windows. I mean, can you picture them arguing that if only people left their curtains wide open all the time then there would be no more crime happening inside houses.
