@Tutanota@mastodon.social It's a funny thing this whole idea of a backdoor.
I live in Denmark which consistently ranks in the top-3 when it comes to countries with the least corruption and the highest trust i authorities. The general trust between citizens is also very high.
I have been working as a police officer for almost 25 years.
Most people don't find it disturbing that the police - with a court order ofcourse - can listen in on the phone lines.
But when it comes to the internet some people want 100% encryption nad privacy. I can see why. I also oppose to "big tech", "surveillance economy", "attention economy" etc.
But I personally wouldn't mind if the police - again with a valid court order - could ask Tuta, Proton etc. to decrypt a specific number of emails for the police to use in an investigation.
The consequences of the police to be completely unable to "listen in" on criminal activity worries me. I know of investigations that use data from "Sky ECC" and "EncroChat"-phones that had the encryption broken by the French police. The contents of the messages are absolutely terrifying.
But then again, maybe my view is different from people who live in countries that eg. is run by a dictator?
