I'm not saying it's better because it doesn't break encryption, that doesn't matter, I'm saying we shouldn't be fight it by framing it as an attack on encryption. What I think chat control is, is yet another attempt to force our devices to act against our interests.

It is sort of both. It is attacking encryption by bypassing it (by demanding a plan-text copy of the data) and it is using our devices to act against our interest. I think both are pretty bad.
