I personally see "Big Tech" as rivals to governments in the long term and there will be many ensuing battles to come. Backdoors to End to End encryption is one of these battles that has been on many governments radars for some time. These backdoors would allow governments to access all and sundry in everyone's digital communications. Of course they'll state safeguards will be put in place so it can't be abused, but that requires alot of trust in those who hold power; and we all know how that tends to end. Now seven nations including the US, UK and India have formally asked tech companies to build in these backdoors, that together with the EARN act feels like the first major shots being fired.   "Member nations of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance—which includes the United States— along with Japan and India published a statement on Sunday calling on tech companies to allow law enforcement to gain backdoor access to communication that uses unbreakable end-to-end encryption."

Trying to end encryption is an assault on every individuals personal privacy. The members of government behind this effort are criminals.
