“Defaulting to routine invasive scanning means an end to providing users with encryption, including users threatened by despotic regimes. Current law already requires platforms to report known examples of material that entails the sexual abuse of children. Any good or service that can be put to good use can also be put to evil use. Just as we shouldn’t penalize the makers of knives, forks, mail, curtains, roads, and guns for their use by criminals, the makers of encryption services should also not be so punished. Nor should we grant to government bodies such a frightening dystopian power, accumulated to override our basic freedoms.” (06/20/25)
