Backdoor access means that tech companies would create a way for government authorities to bypass encryption, allowing them to access private communications for surveillance and investigation. Proponents argue that it helps law enforcement and intelligence agencies prevent terrorism and criminal activities by providing necessary access to information. Opponents argue that it compromises user privacy, weakens overall security, and could be exploited by malicious actors.

It depends on the situation, it should be available but not free to use
@9ZMM8LL5 days5D
No, the government should not have access to private communications between individuals, but tech companies should be legally required to have algorithms in place that can flag communications which detail or discuss a potential national security threat or threat to public safety and these communications should require mandatory reporting following review by a real person.
@9ZMFMTB5 days5D
The government should not be able to encrypt any communications that they want to, unless it can be proven that it is in the interest of national security
@9ZLQVZH7 days7D
No, but tech companies should be legally required to report suspicious activity to the government to ensure national security.
