I am very explicitly arguing that master keys shouldn't exist, for the exact reasons you mentioned.
>> Because whatever technical method the government has to break encryption will leak.
The government cannot break encryption(at least I hope they can't!)
>>The myth here is that a magic key that invalidates encryption can ever be controlled.
It's the same key you have.
Sure the government can break encryption. By, for instance, mandating multi-key schemes with escrow.
You may be thinking in terms of math “break”. I’m talking in terms of functionality break.
