Is it not transparent to everyone yet that these people demanding that technology change because of child sexual abuse have or are being boosted by someone with a totally different agenda? Some government agency wants your data and they are cloaking themselves in this noble cause to get it.

The way this works is deep state wants to control the population. First they ask nicely. Apple tried but went back because their user base saw through it. Then deep state funds "attacks" and then poor Apple will have no option but to give in. This has been happening since post WW2.

  "The deep state"? There is no deep state, just the wealthy elite controlling everything through legalized bribery and scams.

      Parent's point is that civil servant momentum is heavily outweighed by the lobbying of the rich, who are not trying to keep things as they are (like public workers), but succeeding in changing society to better for their needs regardless of who's currently in charge.

Spending that lobbying money on programs to support strong communities and neighborhoods might do more to stop child abuse than for a backdoor to everyones data.

It’s also pretty clearly unconstitutional. However, no one wants their name on the case that goes to the Supreme Court.

    No, there is no way to take an org to court for a kind of activism that's clearly protected by the first amendment.
