Here's a question that's been intriguing me a while. What would be the harms of a ban on end-to-end encryption in mass-market products? People feel safe using Gmail and Telegram routinely for sensitive stuff. What argument do you have for E2E for civilians that really resonates?

All of the above have methods of defeating their security beyond the endpoints, precisely because they aren't E2E.

I understand. My point is they are happily and successfully used by billions of people every day, without incident. So you can't say "securable backdoors are impossible in practice" without addressing the fact that they exist and are widely deployed

1) having a system for warrant access is a security hole, regardless of how well it's protected. Someone will hack it. 2) warrant access is precisely what you don't want in an E2E scenario because being able to communicate without the government reading is important.
