"bUt wE nEEdeD iT tO pRoTeCt tHe cHiLdrEn"

No you lying politicians, you needed it for surveillance reasons and now you harmed everyone instead.. -.-"

Same for the chat control which keeps getting put on the table in Europe, there aint no thing like a backdoor "only for the good guys", bad actors will find and abuse it eventually.

Hit up your politicians, tell them to start actually caring for your best interests instead of speedrunning towards a surveillance state.

there aint no thing like a backdoor "only for the good guys"

And why are we even thinking of the oppressors as "the good guys" at this point? Draconian acts like these make them very, very bad actors. I'll even call them evil. Yeah, I've lost all faith in our digital future...
