MODERATORS
Can't bad actors just create their own messaging app and their own encryption methods?
They absolutely can. Its just the matter where to find a trusty guy to write one for them.
Ok then, what are these politicians smoking?
Some of them are useful idiots, and some of them are working with State security & intelligence, which want full-spectrum communication access.
That's the point

This independent report has been posted here a while ago. They seem to be smoking big US tech dollars.
They don't need new encryption methods, the current ones are unencryptable enough. You can literally post the encrypted messages publicly and no one can do anything with them.
This is my name as stored in one fully encrypted app I wrote:

Nice and exactly. These politicians would have to also make encryption methods illegal, not require apps to break their core functionality. Also, even if they made the methods illegal, that will never stop people from creating them. As a rule of thumb, you never tell the Internet what to do. lol
Hi Dominik! Hows the weather int he Czech republic?
Heh, nice, though not exactly decrypted, that's pretty much a public knowledge. But I can post some encrypted piece of information that I haven't shared publicly, if you wish.
Edit: The weather sucks, as usual. Summers are way too hot and winters are cold. Yay for climate change.
