The "these tools" that the government is targeting include end-to-end encryption, and I am of course of the position that and end encryption is a good thing.

When we talk about "abusive systems" we need to be very clear about what kinds of technology or system behaviors we are discussing, or else the government solution by default will usually be "well it can't be only the platform that spies on you."
