Actual opinion some people hold: "We need to make end-to-end encryption illegal to stop criminals"
How on earth is that meant to work? Criminals are criminals. They don't care whether or not it's illegal. At this point, just declare all crime illegal and call it a day. At least that won't be a huge infringement on honest people's privacy and security.
Wait. Crime is not illegal? No wonder all those criminals are doing it.
A recent anti-organised crime operation set up a fake end to end encrypted phones and sold them to criminals, capturing all calls, messages, and internet traffic
If they hadn't, a real version of the same would have been supplied to criminals, since it's easy and cheap
