if encrypted messages can be “unlocked”, they were never properly encrypted in the first place

Let's start with everything of hers, publish everything about her, even stuff locked in her safe at home.
Oh, that's not what she meant? Because that's what it sounded like to me.
If she hasn't done anything wrong then she has nothing to hide.
Imagine confusing anonymity with privacy.
Imagine thinking communication is comparable to a house.
I wonder if this Europol chief knows what specious means.
“When we have a search warrant and we are in front of a house and the door is locked, and you know that the criminal is inside of the house, the population will not accept that you cannot enter.”
Yeah, and you know what happens then? They don't go to the person who made the lock and ask them to unlock it. They brute force the door open.
So go for it. Brute force that encryption. You're just pissy that all your power amounts to nothing when digital security can't be broken at gunpoint.
Trust the people or they wont trust you.
