    Spending significant resources to prevent it is exactly what encryption is. What the government wants is to completely eliminate online private communication. Continuing with the analogy: you want telescreens.

      Huh? I don’t think you understand my comment. Except for the last line, you’re just further agreeing with me and I’m already agreeing with you.

              Telling someone who says government access will be used to spy on citizens but will be useless for combating serious crime that they want telescreens, a fictitious device used for government spying, doesn’t make any sense. Either you don’t know what a telescreen is, you have poor reading comprehension, or you’re a fairly clever troll. Maybe some of all the above.

                I’m telling someone who says that a want for uncompromising privacy is a US thing that it’s not, and that these compromises they speak of would be akin to telescreens if applied to a non-digital situation.

                  But their comment doesn’t say or suggest that.

                  and that these compromises they speak of would be akin to telescreens if applied to a non-digital situation.

                  And they don’t say anything about the compromises except that they’d be used for spying on citizenry.

                  This isn’t my fight, I saw you were confused and thought I’d help. My mistake, you really are one of those double down or die types.

          So then you’re in favor of these government backdoors? Because your comment suggests the opposite.

            No, I don’t agree that a want of privacy is an American thing.

              So you misread my comment but you’re one of those types who can’t admit when they’re wrong. I’d say it’s our little secret but I see someone else pointed it out too.

                Nope. You’re the one refusing to admit being wrong.

                Edit: I was totally in the wrong here. Someone else just pointed out you’re not the original commenter.
