Pandora's iPhone, by Stuart Carlson, 2016. Still spot-on in 2026:

A backdoor for the good guys simply does not exist. Once you build it, hackers walk through, authoritarian governments walk through, and the rest follows.

The UK is pressuring for chat control right now. EU Chat Control initiatives keep popping up. We need to keep saying NO to this!

The "Backdoor for the Good Guys" is a myth.

No "Good Guys" ask for such an absurd vulnerability into someone's personal digital existence. Every single person in power asking for it knows what they're doing.
