what leads you to believe that end to end encrypted communication is a net good for the world?

esp in liberal democratic countries where the governments are at least in theory accountable to the people

are the costs of letting malevolent actors coordinate worth the benefits? 

what exactly are those benefits that justify something like kiddie porn being easy to distribute at scale? 

or are the alleged liberal democracies currently in power more of a fiction than reality? 

or is it more that someday a less liberal less democratic regime will come into power?

steel man positions only

Building @warpcast and @farcaster, new dad, like making food

While we'd like to believe a government that could mass surveil communications would only use that power to stop incontrovertibly bad acts like distributing kiddie porn, what it will _actually_ be used for in most cases is to punish dissent and assert control.

Such a power simply invites tyranny.
