I remember the "Clipper Chip" and the first crypto-wars.
"Since Public Key encryption was considered a munition, t-shirts like this (containing the RSA sourcecode) were created as a form of civil disobedience using Adam Back’s three-line Perl implementation of RSA." https://cryptoanarchy.wiki/events/90s-crypto-wars
Now there is a new(isn't there always), push by government and pseudo-government agencies.

""The proposal to preemptively scan all user devices for targeted content is far more insidious than earlier proposals for key escrow and exceptional access," the paper says.
"Instead of having targeted capabilities such as to wiretap communications with a warrant and to perform forensics on seized devices, the agencies’ direction of travel is the bulk scanning of everyone’s private data, all the time, without warrant or suspicion. That crosses a red line. Is it prudent to deploy extremely powerful surveillance technology that could easily be extended to undermine basic freedoms?" ®" https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/15/clientside_side_scanning/
