To be fair building in backdoors also puts people at risk.
I'd rather not get into the slippery slope argument, but "these companies" already get to decide who has access. For example, wasn't it BlackBerry who agreed to give India key escrow? Nothing is stopping other vendors doing the same thing.

I don’t see it as a slippery slope argument, I’d say you have to weigh the LE benefits in democratic nations against the foreseeable consequences in less democratic nations.

That is precisely a slippery slope argument, you're saying "If the US has key escrow, then other nations must also have it", right? "If I let you in, then I'll have to let everyone else in" is the classic example of a slippery slope, isn't it?

Your argument that the USA is such an important player that it changes the game (“moves markets”) applies hete too. Australia adopted a law demanding lawful access, but it didn’t change a thing.
