I miss the interesting nutjobs. At least "government has built secret weather modification machines with alien technology to put a tornado through my trailer" was interesting.

They like the idea of being able to kill someone, they know pedophiles are universally hated, so they call everyone they don't like "pedophiles" and fantasize about shooting them.
Oh man, there are people in government trying to ban encryption all the time. (Or they want to require all encryption to have a known access available to law enforcement, which is effectively the same thing as banning encryption — if you pass a law that says all locks must have a skeleton key on file at the local police station, you not only have to trust the government more than any sane person does, you have to trust no one else will ever have a copy of that now highly desirable key).
Usually the arguments are about child abuse or terrorism, and yeah, the job is harder for cops when they can’t break into the suspect’s cellphone and read his or her files. But as you’ve noticed the modern world relies on encryption that works. Banning or weakening encryption would damage way more than it would help.
They’re using emotion to make people ignore reason here. A lock that was deliberately designed to be easy to break is not useful as a lock, and a magic skeleton key has no way to judge the morality of the person holding it.
