"Can't say I'm down with breaking encryption for the sake of 'good guys.' We've seen how easily access can get misused in the past. What's the real goal here - making a name for themselves as 'white hat' hackers or genuinely trying to improve security?"
"I think the idea of 'good guy' hackers is a slippery slope. Once we start creating exceptions for certain groups or causes, it's only a matter of time before others start pushing the boundaries. We need strong, unbreakable encryption to protect everyone, not just a select few."
