Backdoor access means that tech companies would create a way for government authorities to bypass encryption, allowing them to access private communications for surveillance and investigation. Proponents argue that it helps law enforcement and intelligence agencies prevent terrorism and criminal activities by providing necessary access to information. Opponents argue that it compromises user privacy, weakens overall security, and could be exploited by malicious actors.

@9ZMNZYV4 days4D
Yes, when it comes to warrants specific to this information and with proper security protocols on access to the into and adhering to human rights
@9ZGGXJ61wk1W
No but encrypted communication providers should have to provide the information of an individual if there is a proper warrant for the suspected individual tied to an event to be presented in court hearings.
@9ZF2H6Y2wks2W
There should be specific and limited conditions that need to be met, and some form of accountability is necessary.
@9ZD7HCG2wks2W
But access must be consistent with criminal law protections and strict anti-abuse regulations should be simultaneously passed
@9ZBHJJN2wks2W
HELL NO. Digital services are vulnerable to all intruders all across the world. Have some mystical backdoor access is just BEGGING for someone from some obscure part of the world to come knocking the door down
@9YMQZBK2wks2W
No, I don't think so, because the more accesses there are available, the easier it is for someone not intended to see the communication to hack in.
@9YBFNJZ2wks2W
yes but they have to be specific on whos files the need and what there using it for otherwise it should not be used.
@9Y2D4VJ2wks2W
No because if someone were to go rogue such as a government agent they could shut the world down if they knew even a few of the big company’s back doors
