The Trump administration has revived the debate over “end-to-end encryption” — systems so secure that the tech companies themselves aren’t able to read the messages, even when police present them with a warrant.

However, those officials have not yet offered any thoughts on how to keep hackers, credit card thieves, foreign governments, and rogue law enforcement officials from accessing the same “back doors.”
I suspect it is not a surprise to you that not all law enforcement officials are 100% honest and respectful of your privacy.
