As much as terrorism is scary, I don't want us losing access to encryption. In any case, they fucking found the guy, so this is a terrible case to use as an example?
A lot of people defend the 2nd Amendment due to it being present to help dethrone a tyrannical regime, but I feel that privacy is far more important.
And as always no details as to how this would actually work? Carriers and tech companies can't actually read the contents of messages encrypted in apps (end-to-end), can they?
Or would would they regulate encryption, which is impossible?
They could state that as a company providing x service that you may not create a service that provides end to end for which the key cannot be provided.
Then fine the companies if they don't do so. E.g. encryption isn't changed but the law would require that the keys be available to law enforcement.
Then someone else can break the encryption if it requires calling back to an outside server for keys. End to End is secure because nobody but the sender and reciever have the keys, and only the key can decrypt the message
Always relevant (Once you make any backdoor, even if its only accessible to responsible authorities doesn't mean that sooner or later it won't become discovered by hackers). All legislatures should watch and/or understand this concept.

End-to-end encryption isn't a hard thing to set up, if potential terrorists want to they can easily create their own, offline encryption app, transfer the encrypted messages through regular texts, and there's nothing the government will be able to do to decrypt them then.
This sort of thing only fucks over regular people who want a convenient way to keep their personal information safe from yet another fucking data leak.
How are you going to regulate away mathematics, exactly?
I never thought this would be relevant again
"Well the laws of Australia prevail in Australia, I can assure you of that. The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia,"

Just make infinite energy the law, problem physicists?
