Worth considering that FBI's public critique of encryption is (has always been) a cover for their cracking capablities. This is standard disinformation for spies, natsec, budgets, lately for the mushrooming, bloated cybersecurity industry. Coming on strong for disinfo is capacious leaking, malware, ransomware, election interference, foreign hacking, and seemingly unstoppable prattle about press freedom. Privacy and anonymity are the monsters of disinfo even as all the advocates boost their income with warnings and letting their log files be subpoened, hacked, siphoned, stolen, harvested, third partied with lousy data protection, inept administrators, corruptible executives. To be sure, the entire internet is a boondoggle and none of it is trustworthy, but is gradually becoming as much of an uncontrollable invention as the atomic bomb, both US creations, and both with a bevy of orignal inventors apologizing for what they wrought, reaped rewards and honors for, propose useless ways of correcting, bemoan futile proliferation.
