"We know that bad guys can walk through the same doors that are supposedly built for the good guys,"

The US government is now on the side of encryption. Hilariously, all it took was big scary China tapping their communications with their own backdoors. I love how it's portrayed as a good thing that's been corrupted by the evil Chinese.

Nobody could have predicted this. (Anyone who understands the first thing about encryption could have predicted this.)
