"Just keep in mind that no matter the cause they try to peddle, people having to resort to this hackneyed "children" cliche are always disingenuous, and clearly have a agenda they can't admit to."

Meanwhile, in the real world, it is perfectly possible for people of good conscience to have views that differ from your own; views that you disagree with but about which others are entirely genuine. I'm in favour of encryption and privacy. I take great care of my own. However, I can understand the frustration of those whose role it is to fight crime. Encryption does make it harder. It is entirely correct that the discussion continues. The accusations and hyperbole from the extreme opposition is ridiculous.

Cue the down votes from those who can't engage in rational discussion.
