'There has never been a right to absolute privacy' – US Deputy AG slams 'warrant-proof' crypto

Our society has never had a system where evidence of criminal wrongdoing was totally impervious to detection, especially when officers obtain a court-authorized warrant. But that is the world that technology companies are creating.

No, that is how the universe is. Gravity pulls things down. Entropy increases. The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is not a rational number. If you stop breathing for long enough, you'll die. Certain encryption systems require an unfeasible amount of work to break.

You could express a wish that the world would be different. You could scream and tell the world that it is being unfair to you. You could pass a law demanding that the sea parts and lets you pass unimpeded. The universe does not care and is not going to be any different after you do any of these things.
