Between our knowledge of how much law enforcement abuses the powers they have, and our knowledge that algorithms really don’t care if you’re a good guy or a bad guy trying to break encryption, this is old, stale nonsense. Seriously, this has been going on for (at least) 30 years ago and politicians utter refusal to engage with the reality of the situation is disheartening (and I am plenty cynical already, believe me). They still keep on trying to come up with a new marketing slogan, e.g. accountable encryption for the same discredited ideas.
