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.

@conorbruce 9mos9MO
It depends on the situation, it should be available but not free to use
@9ZLQVZH4mos4MO
No, but tech companies should be legally required to report suspicious activity to the government to ensure national security.
@9ZJVWP94mos4MO
This would be only if there was a genuine and grave risk and would have to be in accordance with law. Getting permission to do this in each instance can't just be a rubber stamping exercise. I don't see a need for this right now but recognize there could be circumstances where it's needed.
@9ZHHRQC4mos4MO
Yes, but as this implies government surveillance of the public, this should come with independent oversight to ensure that abuses of power don’t occur.
