The alternative is real privacy.

Freedom only works when it also protects things you don't like. Because of that, the specifics of any one case are totally, completely irrelevant.
> I am a privacy advocate and understand the the law can...abuse a forced decryption law.
There is no sentence after that that justifies having a forced decryption law unless "I am a privacy advocate" is a lie, I'm sorry. You don't have to be a privacy advocate, that's fine, but don't wear that mantle if you're not willing to actually advocate for privacy. The entire point is that it doesn't matter what is being kept private.
Upvoted because while I disagree with your thought process it seems like a good-faith question.
