The losses are big having such a backdoor, but i am wondering about the gains. As far as I understand the police and the judicial system is often overwhelmed already with evidence. Wouldn't it be much better to pour money into the police for just this cause. My understanding is that they are largely underfunded and understaffed. It would seem much better to me if human intelligence would break into sharing rings rather than prosecuting a few more pedophiles. I would expect that they have enough leads from past cases... I think just paying more taxes would be the safest interface between big tech and governments. The problem seems to me that we are loosing trust in our law enforcement and cannot find appropriate ways to empower them without involving big tech, that has no problem with cooperating with foreign law enforcement agencies. The whole situation is so awkward: Apple needs to protect us from law enforcement that they want to support. Something fundamental seems broken and research should actively look for solutions here.
