One problem, if I'm being honest, is that whatever you try to do, you will have a vocal group of people who will explain why it will destroy life as we know it. And everybody in that group of people will genuinely believe that it is absolutely insane to not share their beliefs.

Obviously, some groups are more right than others. If you are into cryptography, you know about the risks coming from Chat Control. But politicians are not part of your group. And what they see, from their point of view, is what I said above: whatever they try to do, there will be a vocal group of people who will genuinely believe that it is completely unreasonable.

That, to me, explains why it keeps coming back: because really, if we could break cryptography only for the bad guys, it would help a lot. "Okay, those people say that it is stupid, just like for everything else we try to do. What makes this group of people more right than the others?"
