There’s a great (and short) video about encryption back-doors by CGP Grey: “Should all locks have keys? Phones, Castles, Encryption, and You.” (Piped link).
“No matter how much we might wish it, there’s no way to build a digital lock that only angels can open and demons cannot. Anyone saying otherwise is either ignorant of the mathematics or less of an angel than they appear.”
EDIT: I still hate you Piped bot.
Even more generally than that, remember that daemons are fallen angels and that same thing happens outside the metaphorical world.
So even if the mathematics allowed it, once something is out and being use with backdoored encryption sooner or later the “bad guys” will have the means to use it if only because of human nature.
I certainly agree with a lot of that analysis. I also worry how signal continue to fund their app sustainably without compromising their users.

Not a huge issue right now, but it will probably an issue in the future
I donate monthly, and hope other privacy minded users consider doing it too
Same here. I do $5 a month. Seems very doable for a lot of people.

How about we cut back on the misogyny.
Technically not misogyny—just good ol’ fashioned objectification.
IDK, I wouldn’t say calling someone hot is even objectification. You can respect someone who you consider smart and there dimensional and also think they’re hot.
I’d say it’s just inappropriate.
