AG Barr, Cypherpunks disagree. We generally only endorse open source,
   e2e, encryption for p2p communications with no societal or government
   say so. We countenance no provision for legal access. Secure, even
   covert, communications is a right which need only be perfected between
   the the communicating parties.

     "It is also said that the Government is seeking a secretive
     'backdoor' to everyone's communications and data.  That is false.
     We
     are seeking a front door.
     The heart of the matter is this: Do the security advantages of
     warrant-proof encryption offered to the individual outweigh the risk
     posed to the public by that same technology?  This is not a decision
     for the companies to make by themselves.  It is a decision for
     society to make.
     We think our tech sector has the ingenuity to develop effective ways
     to provide secure encryption while also providing secure legal
     access."
