I like how these policies illustrate clearly what the real agenda of these agencies is.
It clearly isn't to protect the American People in general. The way to do that would be to give them the best security measures available ie: E2E encryption.
It is to strengthen the government against it's citizens. By having an encryption asymmetry between the government and it's citizens, the victory is that actions can be made easier in the case where the government and it's citizens are opposing forces.
It's pretty clear in my mind that the FBI views "it's team" as exclusively law enforcement, other three letter agencies and other governmental organizations and it views everyone else as a hostile. The FBI is not on your side.
