That would absolutely not be okay. It would be an insane level of power in the hand of this entity. It's horifying that some people would knowingly consider submiting to this.
The worry is this: I do not want to live in a society with surveilance worse than that which was immagined in 1984. Worse in that governments can fully automate the analysis of the communication and profile their subjects. With that, states no longer need to asign a human agent to whomever they want to surveil. Insteand they do mass surveilance.
As usual, they will promise, that they want the power to protect you from bad guys, when in fact it will be use against political oposition, protestors etc. Tool for totalitarianism, one step at a time.
The reality is, that echnology for encryption exists, and anyone can freely decide to use it, and no one can stop it. You cannot un-invent it. People who put a tiny bit of effort can run their own XMPP server, or use SimpleX or whatever.
Not wanting to have my phone tapped should again be considered normal. Obviously. No justification needed.
