There's no freedom more fundamental than freedom of thought, but anti-encryption violates that imo. At least, it prevents the sharing or workshopping of thoughts. Yeah, I'd literally die on that hill.
No one deserves to be subject to my raw, unrefined thoughts. It's hell enough for me
It really is such a hill, I know it may sound absurd to some people, but invasion of privacy and communications is, by all means, thought policing, and living in such a world is, in my opinion, torture.
The issue here is that they seemed to have used the encrypted communications to proof criminal behavior.
