This doesn’t mean giving the FBI or other agencies a direct line into content, it means Meta, Apple and Google should have the means, the keys to provide content when warranted to do so by a court.

It also means that any “security” from China they’re touting is bypassed by simpling gaining access to these backdoors and thus access to everything with no effort.
