No? But lawful intercept laws were never about "criminals [talking] in person".

There's a different set of laws for that...



And we all know those laws are never abused and are absolutely only used to target criminals.


No, there is definitely abuse of lawful interception.

But, in a jurisdiction with a functioning rule of law, these abuses can be spotted and remedied.

Doing the same for mass surveillance (such as ChatControl) or state-sponsored malware is much harder.

I'm advocating against ChatControl and malware, and proposing existing lawful interception frameworks as an alternative. But, apparently it's not my day :)


ChatControl is just lawful interception under a different name, but worse.
