    I feel also really frustrated to know that a pedophile or any criminal is able to escape justice because the encryption is good enough

    How do you know something that’s provably false? Pedophiles who evade justice are not doing careless things that need end to end encryption, like backing up their porn to iCloud. The problem doesn’t start or end with encryption. The policy is entirely about privacy and has nothing to do with protecting children.

      I totally agree about privacy, but I can’t agree when some people are thinking every government is trying to do mass surveillance and has evil thoughts.

      Online criminality is kind of new and internet can’t just be heaven for criminals.

      It’s about finding a right balance between all of these things and remembering that most citizens are honest.

      And, despite the fact that some people here just seem to hate the police no matter what, it’s also important to be able to investigate on the web.

      One day, these people could be the victim of someone and they would be probably really happy if there was a way to catch these criminals.

      That being said I don’t know what the perfect balance is and I’m trying to be open minded about it.
