Again, no. In your examples there is a real human there and not automated surveillance. There is a person who can be held accountable if they abuse that client confidentiality. Knowing big tech we will get a yt flock like automated system.

AI companies have no accountability as proven by the hugging face incident. And if they did, it would be the same old LLC non person taking ownership with a big slap on the wrist.

You are also wrong again that this literally is the gov surveying every message just like it is with them looking at your texts or google search. E2e encrypted messaging is hated because it cant be automatically surveyed. The idea it needs to be for law does not hold up as it doesnt for your human examples either.

I get the attempt here for nuance but still just, no.

People. Humans. We have got to have accountability. Once local llms are closer in capability to what people generally need and Apple has a local secure version of that, it is back to the e2e encryption and gov wanting backdoors arg again.

Almost all of these arguments boil back down to the “if you dont have anything to hide…” which id hope on hn we know is dangerous
