Seeing how IETF handles these issues and rebuilds trust will be interesting.

There are no purely technical solutions to social ills. Any organization operating under color of law can circumvent encryption entirely by going after the endpoints.

If folks are unhappy with the current state of affairs, they should concentrate on writing laws, not code. Else any code that's written will simply be obviated.

You mean how it was illegal for the GCSB to do what they did but they did it and got away with it anyway, rewriting of laws?
