    It’s the fact that the intelligence agencies have proven themselves to be unable to responsibility use their powers, and instead find every sneaky way possible to infiltrate and spy on their own citizens while preventing nothing. That’s what has pushed the world to say enough is enough and we are going to encrypt everything we can. Now the global powers are crying poor about how they need access to stop terrorism, while being completely unable to point to a single instance where they stopped a terror attack and contrarily there’s plenty of terror attacks that were never stopped.

      Government’s : We’re going to counter terrorism by backdooring into every device our citizens use.

      Real Terrorists : We have our own devices that are fully encrypted and free from backdoors.
      Thanks for giving us the key to spy on all of your citizens tho, very helpful.

      they have also proven themselves to be absolutely ineffectual money pits that couldn’t stop a teenager.
