The issue being that governments in the west have repeatedly demonstrated they will implement blanket surveillance and not follow due process in using it.

Further those who do wish to break the law could still utilize cryptography to avoid backdoors so this would only really apply said surveillance to those not breaking the law.

Perhaps this is also different for digital activities due to the history of the digital space and the scale/ease at which if allowed it can be surveilled.
