The real translation is that nobody gives a fuck about the children but they use this as an excuse to peddle their bs backdoors.

You got that right—this is a bullshit back door. That's my favourite kind of back door. Because it does one thing incredibly well: it starves of oxygen the one remotely tractable argument politicians have found to break real E2E encryption with real, non-bullshit back doors.

With this technology in place, never again will the Government be able to wail "think of the children" when claiming E2E needs a back door in order to protect the the children.

Give me the bullshit back door any day.
