Laws that you cannot enforce without looking at people’s private communications are, in my mind, very likely to be laws that should probably not exist anyway in a free society. Crimes that actually harmed another person have, you know, a victim who can testify to the police or in court that the crime happened, and if you have that, what do you need to look at encrypted communications for?
