    Wow. It’s almost like we’ve been warning for years that putting backdoors into software, systems, and encryption would allow nefarious parties to exploit them.

      Think about the children <clutches pearls>. It will make it easier for police to access instead of <checks notes> doing actual police work and getting a warrant.

        Sorry, I only think of children during school shootings, it’s easier that way.

        Well yeah but then they’d have to expand the hiring pool beyond the dumbest jock you knew in high school and those people tend to balk at doing fascism so…

          Hey, be fair! They also hire the three bullies who hung out by the bleachers smoking cigarettes.
